The Sudanese Air Force continued bombing the area of Golo, Jebel Marra, in Central Darfur, on Thursday. Many people fled to the town hospital and government buildings.
Speaking to Dabanga, a resident of the Berdani district in the southern part of Golo, reported that the bombardments destroyed several houses in the neighbourhood.
“Hundreds of people sought refuge in the town’s hospital, and the Golo locality offices,” he said. “We fear for our lives, also because members of the Rapid Support Forces and other militiamen are dominating Golo.
“We are trapped in the now overcrowded buildings, without food and water, and in constant fear of being attacked by militia forces, or bombed by an Antonov.”
He appealed to the international community, and humanitarian organisations, to “intervene as soon as possible, and save the lives of those trapped in Golo”.
