Two weeks of clashes in a southern Sudan region kill dozens, a local medical group says
The Sudan Doctors Network said poor communications made the toll hard to verify and warned the number is likely higher as clashes continue.
- The Sudan Doctors Network reported Wednesday that fighting in Kauda, South Kordofan, killed over 61 people, including nine children and five women, during the past two weeks.
- Forces linked to the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North , commanded by Abdel Aziz al-Hilu, clashed with the Otoro tribe while aligning with the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group.
- Survivors report indiscriminate targeting around Kauda, while the doctors group warned of "systematic burning" and looting as civilians face attacks with no safe corridors for evacuating wounded or delivering aid.
- In Dilling, RSF artillery shelling on Tuesday killed seven people and wounded 17; Umm Bakhita Hospital director Omran Teia stated that civilians were targeted by both the paramilitary and SPLM-N.
- Sudan's broader conflict has killed at least 59,000 people and displaced 13 million, though Sudan Doctors Network spokesperson Mohamed Elsheikh warned that poor communication suggests the true toll is likely higher.
