BBC World Service - BBC OS, Sudan: Thousands flee killings in Darfur

Thousands have fled the Sudanese region of Dafur amid fears of ethnic killings

Thousands have fled the Sudanese region of Dafur amid fears of ethnic killings.

Thousands of people have been forced to flee the Sudanese region of West Dafur amid fears of ethnic cleansing, a medical charity says. Witnesses have accused the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of targeting and killing non-Arabs, with reports of hundreds of deaths. The RSF says it is not involved in what it describes as a "tribal conflict". We'll explain the conflict and hear from people in Sudan.

We'll also continue to hear from people across Gaza and Israel as the conflict there continues.

And in the US the state of Ohio voted to enshrine abortion rights in its constitution on Tuesday, marking a major victory for pro-choice campaigners in the state. We'll speak to women there.
