Sudan’s news blackout stokes fear and confusion after attack on Zamzam camp

### Summary: The Zamzam camp in Sudan, housing around 700,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs), was overrun by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, leading to mass displacement and humanitarian concerns. The attack has left many relatives without news of their family members' safety due to a communications blackout. The UN estimates that between 60,000 to 80,000 households have been displaced, with Médecins Sans Frontières reporting that about 10,000 people arrived at another camp suffering from dehydration and exhaustion. Activists emphasize the need for restoring communications during the upcoming peace talks in London to allow communities under attack to warn each other, improve healthcare access, and facilitate human rights documentation. They also note that the lack of reliable communication methods like satellite phones and Starlink has made it difficult for people to connect or receive aid. The RSF's assault resulted in numerous casualties, including medical workers from Relief International who were killed during the raid. The communications blackout poses significant challenges for humanitarian efforts and documentation of atrocities, with activists calling for prioritizing restoration of communication channels to alleviate suffering.
