Shelling in Sennar, Sudan Kills 31

At least 31 people have been killed and around 100 injured following artillery shelling by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the city of Sennar, Sudan, targeting a crowded market. This attack is part of the ongoing conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces, which has resulted in over 20,000 deaths since mid-April 2022 and driven nearly 10 million people from their homes. The RSF has gained control of much of Sennar despite challenges posed by heavy rains affecting their movements. Both the RSF and the Sudanese army have been accused of committing war crimes amid the humanitarian crisis that has emerged, prompting calls from the international community for peacekeepers and an arms embargo, which have been rejected by Sudan's foreign ministry. The violence has exacerbated what is now considered the world's largest hunger crisis. As the conflict continues, the situation remains dire for civilians caught in the crossfire.
