The Al Bashayer health center, located in the south of this city, was closed due to the offensive of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the last few days.

According to specialists, the health conditions in the area are catastrophic and urgent international aid was requested through safe corridors.

It was also reported that paramilitaries shelled Karari village, north of Omdurman, yesterday evening, killing four people and wounding more than 30 others.

The Health Ministry’s director general, Fath al Rahman Mohamed, said that among the wounded are 18 children between the ages of four and twelve.

Since mid-April 2023, the African nation has been plunged into an internal war, after power disputes between the army chief Abdel Fatah al-Burhan and the leader of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, flared up.

The conflict has already killed more than 24,000 people and is keeping more than 14 million Sudanese people away from their homes, in what experts consider to be the world’s largest displacement crisis.

The fighting has also destroyed countless livelihoods, plunging the country into a complex spiral of hunger and death.
