NORTH KORDOFAN, SUDAN, JUL 13 – Attacks by the Rapid Support Forces killed at least 72 civilians and injured over 60 in North Kordofan, escalating displacement and worsening Sudan's humanitarian crisis, aid groups said.
- The conflict between Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces began on April 15, 2023, primarily affecting Khartoum and Kordofan regions.
- The war stems from a power struggle between rival generals following years of instability after Omar al-Bashir’s fall in 2019, with fighting intensifying and causing widespread displacement.
- Violence has displaced over 12.3 million people internally, with nearly two million fleeing to neighboring countries like Chad, while humanitarian access and services have collapsed amid continuous attacks.
- At least 14,600 have died and 26,000 been injured, while aid agencies warn that over 18 million face acute food insecurity and millions of displaced children risk missing education.
- The crisis remains one of the world’s worst humanitarian disasters, prompting a $6 billion UN response plan and urgent calls to end hostilities and increase international humanitarian support.
