The camp, located north of El Fasher city, has faced daily indiscriminate shelling and drone attacks from the RSF, causing numerous civilian casualties, according to local reports.
Fourteen people died on Wednesday from artillery shells fired by the RSF towards the Nivasha area within Abu Shouk camp, according to a statement from the Abu Shouk Emergency Room, received by Sudan Tribune.
On Thursday, six more people were killed and 17 injured as the RSF continued targeting areas heavily populated by civilians, a media official at the Abu Shouk camp said.
