Deadly Air Strike in Omdurman Causes Humanitarian Catastrophe in Sudan

In Omdurman, 6 people from one family were killed, after an air strike targeted the Al-Salha neighborhood, west of the city.

The Democratic Observatory for Human Rights in the Darfur region (a legal body) attributed the bombing of Nyala to army aviation, saying that it carried out 4 air strikes targeting residential neighborhoods in the city, which led to the death and injury of dozens.

The Observatory indicated that the bombing left 9 dead in only one neighborhood, including children and women, and dozens were killed and injured in other neighborhoods of the city, which has been controlled by the Rapid Support Forces for about two months.

The attacks escalated on Thursday and Friday in a number of areas of the capital and other cities in the Darfur region, which led to a horrific deterioration in the humanitarian conditions.

Since the outbreak of war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces in mid-April, about 12,000 people have been killed and more than 7 million forced to flee their homes, according to United Nations data.

Despite international pressure and popular anger, attacks continue in Sudan amid a severe scarcity of treatment services, ambulances, and medical teams.

While about 80 percent of hospitals are completely out of service in Khartoum, Darfur, and Gezira State, the few operating hospitals suffer from a severe shortage of medicines, medical aids, services, and ambulances, forcing the few teams working in extremely dangerous security conditions to transport the injured over long distances using handcarts. Primitive.

While more than 80 percent of the capital’s population has fled their original areas, those stranded face extremely dangerous security and humanitarian conditions.

On Saturday, residents of southern Khartoum neighborhoods sent distress calls, after the food stocks of residents caught in the clashes ran out.

Most areas of Sudan are witnessing a state of severe panic due to the severe food, medicine, electricity, and water crises, which have prompted many residents to venture into displacement despite the ongoing violence.

Local and international organizations and bodies have warned of the worsening humanitarian catastrophe, with the number of victims rising among the stranded, who human rights organizations say are subjected to numerous violations, such as detention and the lack of safe passages for their exit.
