The conflict in Khartoum, Sudan, has resulted in severe humanitarian crises, with bodies being recovered from sewage pits, a rampant famine affecting over 100,000 individuals, and millions displaced. The struggle between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo continues, causing destruction and loss of civilian life. Community kitchens have become essential as residents face shortages of food, water, and supplies amidst ongoing violence.
In the devastated neighborhoods of Khartoum, Sudan, the Red Crescent volunteers are recovering victims from a sewage pit. The head of forensic medicine, Hisham Zein al-Abdeen, reported that many of the deceased were shot in the head or suffered severe injuries before being discarded. The city bears the scars of nearly two years of conflict between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with over 3.5 million people displaced since the onset of war.
The ongoing struggle, which began in April 2023, has seen army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan pitted against former deputy and RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo. The United Nations estimates that tens of thousands have died and upwards of 12 million have been uprooted by the violence. As territories have shifted, the army has regained control of significant parts of Khartoum, closing in on the RSF-controlled presidential palace. Yet, Daglo remains resolute, asserting the RSF will not vacate their position.
Recent accounts from civilian residents describe the harrowing conditions, including abandoned neighborhoods filled with rubble and discarded debris. Hospitals and schools have been rendered inoperative, contributing to the pervasive fear among those remaining in the city. The community bears witness to tragedies such as witnessing bodies discarded in pits, leaving locals traumatized by the constant gunfire and warfare.
Despite the army regaining control, basic necessities, including food, clean water, and electricity, remain elusive. Community kitchens in Bahri, previously under RSF control, are now essential for survival, as volunteers provide meals to the desperate population. Challenges persist, with volatile conditions hindering supply access. The turmoil has triggered widespread famine, affecting over 100,000 individuals in Khartoum alone, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation.
This conflict has not only resulted in a humanitarian catastrophe but has also dismantled Sudan’s infrastructure and crippled its economy. The struggle for power between Burhan and Daglo has evolved into a dire crisis that endangers millions, illustrating the depth of despair and the immediate need for international intervention and aid.
The ongoing conflict in Sudan continues to wreak havoc on the capital, Khartoum, leading to severe humanitarian crises. The struggles between the Sudanese army and the RSF have resulted in tremendous loss of life, mass displacement, and widespread famine. As communities grapple with the decay of infrastructure and lack of basic necessities, the situation demands urgent international attention and response to alleviate the suffering of the civilians caught in this devastating conflict.
