Sudanese village suffers mass deaths amid conflict

Twenty-five people have perished in Wad Ashib village, Al Jazirah State, amid worsening epidemics and malnutrition.

“The residents face certain death without urgent aid,” warned the activist group Center Call in a statement on Tuesday.

The village remains isolated, with no access to food, medicine, or escape routes, compounding the humanitarian disaster.

Diseases are spreading rapidly, leaving scores critically ill, and medical care is entirely unavailable, the group reported.

Fighting between the Rapid Support Forces and General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army reignited in Al Jazirah State on October 20, intensifying the crisis.

The RSF’s dominance in Al Jazirah continues to grow, sparing only a few southern and western regions near bordering states.

Since April 2023, clashes between the RSF and the Burhan’s army have killed over 20,000 people.

The UN reports nearly 10 million displaced and millions pushed toward famine, with violence engulfing 13 of 18 states.

Calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian intervention have grown urgent as the crisis deepens, activists emphasized.

The dire situation in Wad Ashib underscores the escalating toll of the Sudanese conflict on vulnerable civilians.
