      <title>Report Offers New Evidence of Starvation Crimes in Darfur</title>
      <description>We conclude that the new Yale HRL report provides compelling evidence relevant to multiple RSF starvation crimes in the vicinity of El-Fasher, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. The region is central to an ongoing ICC investigation. Additionally, the report has broader significance beyond the situation in Sudan, as it models careful investigative analysis of satellite imagery and open-source data in documenting atrocity crimes as they unfold, when on-the-ground investigations are difficult or impossible.</description>
