Sudan Airstrike Kills Dozens in North Darfur Market

A recent air strike by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) on a market in Tora, North Darfur, has reportedly resulted in numerous civilian casualties, with local rights groups estimating at least 54 killed and dozens more injured. The attack has been condemned as a potential war crime, with Emergency Lawyers labeling it a 'horrific massacre' and calling for accountability. Military spokespersons have denied targeting civilians, asserting that the strikes were aimed at hostile targets amidst the ongoing conflict with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Videos shared on social media depict the devastating aftermath, with charred bodies and destruction evident at the market site. This incident underscores the escalating violence in Sudan's civil war, which has already led to significant humanitarian crises, including widespread famine affecting millions. The UN has described the situation as the world's largest humanitarian crisis, with over half of the Sudanese population facing acute hunger.
