On December 21, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said on the 20th that at least 782 civilians had been killed and more than 1143 injured in El Fasher, the capital of Northern Darfur, Sudan, during the ongoing siege and hostilities. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights released a report on the same day, saying that in June this year, the conflict significantly escalated. The parties to the conflict engaged in fierce exchanges of fire in residential areas. They not only used civilian homes as military strongholds, but also attacked and looted markets, causing many civilians to die in their homes, markets, near hospitals and on the streets. In addition, there are still thousands of civilians trapped inside the city, unable to evacuate safely and facing a serious threat of indiscriminate attacks.
