News Center- The conflict that erupted in Sudan between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces on April 15, 2023 has caused widespread destruction and displacement, forcing more than 14 million people from their homes.

At least 65 people were killed and 158 others injured in a strike on a crowded market in Omdurman, Khartoum, on Saturday, according to Sudan's health authorities.

UN Humanitarian and Resident Coordinator in Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami condemned the attacks in a social media post, stating, “The deliberate targeting of civilian areas represents a blatant disregard for human life and the most basic principles of the laws of war. Such atrocities must cease immediately.”

A military air strike on the western Sudanese capital of South Darfur state killed 25 people and injured 63 others on Monday.

The food crisis in Sudan is worsening, with reports confirming more than 70 hunger-related deaths, mostly among children, in Khartoum State, according to OCHA.

Half of Sudan’s population faces high levels of acute food insecurity (24.6 million people), among whom 8.5 million people face an emergency or famine-like situation, according to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report.
