Humanitarian Crisis Deepens in Sudan Amid Escalating Conflict

The OHCHR reports that civilians in Khartoum face severe violence amid ongoing hostilities between SAF and RSF, leading to numerous deaths and injuries. Humanitarian conditions are worsening, especially in Omdurman, with calls for a ceasefire and better protection of civilians.

Recent reports from the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) indicate a severe escalation of violence in Khartoum, Sudan, particularly affecting civilians and humanitarian workers. The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has resulted in artillery shelling and aerial bombardments, leading to several civilian casualties.

The ongoing conflict in Sudan, particularly in Khartoum, poses a significant threat to civilian safety and humanitarian efforts. With rising tensions and increasing atrocities, it is imperative for all parties involved to prioritize civilian protection and facilitate humanitarian access. The international community is called upon to intervene and address the urgent needs arising from this escalating humanitarian crisis.
