At least 97 civilians have been killed in clashes in Sudan, and another 365 people have been injured since the fighting began. This was reported by Reuters with reference to local doctors.
Earlier today, the Al Hadath TV channel, citing data from the World Health Organization (WHO), reported that 83 people have been killed and another 1,126 injured since the start of armed clashes in Sudan. It was noted that among the dead were children and women.
According to the representative of the WHO, hospitals and hospitals are experiencing an acute shortage of medicines and consumables, due to which their ability to provide assistance to the victims is severely limited.
On April 16, the Sudanese army agreed to open humanitarian corridors for the safe evacuation of citizens and the delivery of necessary aid. The humanitarian corridor should be opened every day for three hours.
The UN call was also followed by the Sudan Rapid Response Force (SRF). In this, the Special Forces, like the Sudanese army before, reserves the right to respond in case of any hostile actions by the enemy.
However, after an agreement was reached to open humanitarian corridors, street fighting intensified in Sudan's capital, Khartoum.
The situation in Sudan escalated due to disagreements between army commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who also heads the sovereign council (the country's governing body), and his deputy, special forces commander Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo (Hamidti). As a result, on the morning of April 15, clashes between the army and special forces began near the military base in the city of Meroe and in the capital of the country, Khartoum.
As reported by the secretariat of the Intergovernmental Organization for Development, the participants of the summit decided that the presidents of Djibouti, Kenya and South Sudan should go to Sudan as soon as possible to reconcile the warring parties.
