The attacks come as nearly 19.5 million Sudanese face severe hunger amid the country’s deepening humanitarian crisis.
A force affiliated with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has killed at least 27 people, including elderly residents, in an attack on villages west of Bara in Sudan’s North Kordofan state, according to the Sudan Doctors Network.
The Cairo-based medical NGO said the attacks took place on Thursday in the al-Murrah area, describing them as “a new crime targeting unarmed civilians in areas with no military presence”.
