Hunger, murder and sexual violence... MSF will warn about the dire situation in Sudan

A report issued by Doctors Without Borders (MSF), has revealed some of the human tragedies caused by the war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for civilians, including murder, torture and sexual violence, while the fighting continues between the two parties in several areas of Sudan.

In its report titled "War on Humanity - The Cost of Conflict and Violence in Sudan," Doctors Without Borders said that the Sudanese armed forces and the RSF fighters and their supporters are committing appalling atrocities on people across the country. .

The report explains that the war in Sudan has led to the collapse of civil protection, and local communities are facing indiscriminate violence, murder, torture and sexual violence while attacks continue against health workers and medical centers.

The report has presented the testimony of health workers and survivors who have narrated the horrors they witnessed while fleeing the hell of war to other areas.

The MSF report said, hospitals are regularly looted and attacked throughout the war.

A few days ago, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) announced that more than 10 million Sudanese have fled their cities and villages since the start of the civil war in April 2023, while hunger continues to affect many of the country's citizens.

The IOM said that half of the population of Sudan, i.e. about 50 million people, are facing a famine and need more humanitarian aid than any other country in the world.

Sudan has plunged into a civil war between two sides led by army generals in mid-April 2023, and efforts to resolve the two sides have not borne fruit so far.
