Sudanese authorities have reported the deaths of 850 people, including 200 children, in tribal conflicts in the West Darfur region.According to Al Jazeera, Khamis Abdullah Abu Bakr, governor of Western Darfur state in Sudan, said: "Due to the intensity of clashes between the rapid reaction forces and the Sudanese army, these conflicts have escalated into tribal conflicts."

He added: The number of wounded has reached more than 2,600, of which almost 700 are children. Meanwhile, in these areas there is no medical and health care, as hospitals, pharmacies, and warehouses of existing medical organizations have been destroyed. All residents of the city of Jenin in central Darfur are homeless and without food.

On the other hand, most of the water sources are destroyed, electricity is completely cut off, communications are disrupted, and this city is constantly bombed and mortared.Abdullah Abu Bakr called for the immediate intervention of the international community in the region.Armed conflicts in Sudan began on April 15, 2023 between the army and the rapid reaction forces for power, resulting in at least 1,000 deaths so far. Since these conflicts, about a million Sudanese have fled their homes or been displaced
