At Least 56 Killed in Artillery Shelling, Air Strikes across Greater Khartoum

A recent escalation in the conflict between Sudan's regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) resulted in at least 56 deaths and over 160 injuries in greater Khartoum. The deadliest incident occurred at a market in Omdurman, where RSF shelling killed 54 people, overwhelming the already strained Al-Nao Hospital. Both factions have accused each other of indiscriminate attacks, with the RSF denying responsibility despite evidence linking them to the bombardment. The ongoing violence has displaced millions and pushed half the population into hunger, with the United Nations reporting severe humanitarian crises. The RSF has been utilizing drones for attacks, but the Sudanese army retains control over air strikes, further complicating the situation on the ground. Hospitals continue to face dire shortages of medical supplies as the conflict persists, raising alarms about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the region.
