Rapid Support Forces Attack Kills Civilians in Sudan

Recent attacks by Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have resulted in a significant civilian death toll, with reports indicating at least 24 civilians killed in Al-Jazeera State and 65 in Omdurman due to artillery shelling. The assaults have particularly targeted displacement camps and markets, leading to hundreds of injuries and exacerbating the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the country. The World Health Organization has described the situation as 'shocking', with health facilities overwhelmed and in desperate need of supplies. In North Darfur, additional artillery strikes have killed at least 15 people and injured 64 others, highlighting the escalating violence in the region. The RSF has also accused the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) of conducting airstrikes that killed civilians, a claim the SAF denies. The conflict, which has lasted over 20 months, has led to more than 27,000 deaths and displaced over 14 million people, with civilians increasingly bearing the brunt of the violence.
