According to local activists, air strikes on a Khartoum market on Sunday killed at least 46 people and injured scores more, making it one of the worst single attacks in Sudan’s almost five-month conflict. The explosion in Sudan’s capital happened approximately a week after another air strike in southern Khartoum on September 2 killed 20 people.
According to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, over 7,500 people have been slain in the conflict between army head Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who controls the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which began on April 15.
The local resistance committee, one of numerous organisations that used to coordinate pro-democracy marches and now give relief throughout the conflict, reported the number of dead in Sunday’s “Qouro market massacre” had increased to 46 by the evening.
The committee updated an earlier death toll of 30 in its announcement. It went on to say that there were “dozens of wounded” and that casualties were still pouring into the neighbouring Bashair hospital.
According to the committee, military jets pounded the Qouro market area about 7:15 a.m.
An air attack on a residential section of Omdurman, Khartoum’s sister city, killed almost two dozen people and garnered criticism from the UN.
The hospital had made a “urgent appeal” for all medical experts in the vicinity to come and assist in the treatment of the “increasing number of injured people arriving.”
