A United Nations spokesperson expressed deep horror on Thursday upon receiving reports of a high number of casualties resulting from recent attacks on a village in Sudan’s Gezira State. The village of Wad Al-Noura has reportedly witnessed a tragic loss of over 100 lives, according to media sources.
The attacks, which began on Wednesday, are alleged to have been carried out by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). These reports have not yet been confirmed by the RSF, as no official response has been issued at this time.
“We have received horrifying reports about a high number of casualties,” the UN spokesperson stated, emphasizing the urgent need for a cessation of violence and the protection of civilians in the region.
The situation in Sudan has been increasingly volatile, with clashes between various armed groups causing significant concern among international observers. The UN and humanitarian organizations are calling for immediate access to affected areas to provide necessary aid and to assess the full impact of the conflict on local communities.
The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, urging all parties involved to engage in dialogue and seek peaceful resolutions to prevent further loss of life.
