TINE, Chad, Dec 1 (Reuters) - At a transit camp here on the Chad-Sudan border, Najwa Isa Adam, 32, hands out bowls of pasta and meat to orphaned Sudanese children from al-Fashir, the site of a recent violent takeover by paramilitary forces in Sudan.

Adam herself is a refugee from the city and arrived in October. While fleeing, she says, she was held captive at gunpoint by four RSF fighters who repeatedly raped her. A man passing by heard her cries and helped her escape.
