At least 175 people have been killed and dozens injured in a series of airstrikes that hit Sudan’s capital and other regions on Monday and Tuesday.
The attacks, which have been attributed to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), have exacerbated the ongoing 20-month conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces.
One of the deadliest incidents occurred in the town of Kabkabiya, where an airstrike targeted a busy market, resulting in the deaths of at least 100 civilians, including women and children.
Another tragic event involved a passenger bus that was struck by a shell, killing all 22 people on board.
In the capital, Khartoum, at least 65 people were killed in an attack on the army-controlled Omdurman district.
The recent escalation of violence has raised serious concerns about the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
The conflict has already displaced millions of people and caused widespread suffering. International efforts to broker a ceasefire and bring an end to the bloodshed have so far been unsuccessful.
