The @NYTimes belatedly publishes about a massacre in Sudan. On page 7. 36 hours after it was online.

At least 57 people were killed in the besieged Sudanese city of El Fasher late Friday when paramilitary forces launched drone and artillery strikes on a shelter for displaced people, local medics and aid groups said.

The paramilitary group, called the Rapid Support Forces, or R.S.F., has for months tightened its siege of El Fasher, a city in the western region of Darfur that has become one of the worst battlegrounds of a two-year civil war between the R.S.F. and Sudan’s military.

About 260,000 civilians are trapped in an ever-smaller space within the city, struggling with hunger, disease and mass displacement.

The paramilitary group has bombarded shelters, hospitals and mosques in the city in recent days. The violence killed at least 53 civilians and wounded more than 60 between Oct. 5 and 8, according to the United Nations, which says those figures may underestimate the true toll.

Last month a missile slammed through the roof of a mosque, killing about 75 people.

The war in Sudan has killed as many as 400,000 people, by some expert estimates, and driven the world’s largest displacement crisis, according to the United Nations. Across the country, nearly 12 million people have been uprooted, and shelters have become vectors of disease like cholera and dengue fever.

Sounds worse than even the exaggerated Hamas reports about Gaza. Yet while the NYT routinely places multiple stories and photos of Gaza on the front page, this article - written on Saturday afternoon - is not being published in the print edition until Monday's edition.

On page A7.

The article says that "Footage from the scene of the shelter, collected by locals... showed bloodied bodies, rubble and buildings with caved-in roofs." Yet even the online edition doesn't share any of those photos, while photos of injured Gaza civilians have been a mainstay at the NYT for the same two years as the Gaza war.

Sure sounds like a double standard, doesn't it?
