At least 400 people were killed in three-day attack on Zamzam Camp , Sudan 's largest camp for displaced people in Darfur .

Residents and aid workers tell Associated Press that RSF fighters gunned down men and women in the streets, beat and tortured others.

Many of RSF ’s fighters originated from the janjaweed, which became notorious for atrocities in the early 2000s .

RSF has been accused by residents and rights groups of mass killings and rapes.

At least 1.7 square kilometers ( 0.65 square miles ) appeared to have been burned down between April 10-16 , a report says.

At least 23 people were killed at a religious school at Abu Shouk Camp , a group says.

A woman says she saw at least five bodies in the street, including two women and a boy, the ground around them soaked in blood.
