Sudan Doctors Network: Death toll in Daqris Prison rises to more than 215 people within two months; fate of 31 detainees transferred to Nyala Hospital remains unknown The Sudan Doctors Network is following with deep concern the deteriorating humanitarian conditions inside Daqris Prison. According to information received from field sources, the number of deaths among civilians subjected to arbitrary detention has risen to more than 215 people during the period from May to June. The deaths are reportedly the result of the spread of diseases and epidemics, as well as torture and mistreatment of detainees, under detention conditions that lack even the most basic standards of healthcare and human dignity. According to a report prepared by the network on detainees in Daqris Prison in Nyala, 31 detainees were transferred to Nyala Hospital more than two weeks ago despite reportedly not suffering from any notable illnesses. Among them were minors. Their whereabouts and fate remain unknown, raising growing concerns for their lives and safety, especially amid reports that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been conducting blood extraction from detainees to help treat wounded fighters. The Sudan Doctors Network strongly condemns any violations against civilians and calls for the immediate end of arbitrary detention. It also demands that humanitarian and medical organizations be granted access to detention facilities and that the fate of all detainees be disclosed, particularly those who were transferred under mysterious circumstances from Daqris Prison to Nyala Hospital and have not returned. The network further calls for ensuring that sick and injured detainees receive the medical care they need. The network urges the international community and human rights and humanitarian organizations to take urgent action and pressure RSF leaders to protect civilians and hold those responsible for violations accountable in accordance with international laws and conventions.

Sudan Doctors Network: Four Killed, 12 Injured in Rapid Support Forces Attack on El Obeid Four people were killed and 12 others injured when the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeted several areas in El Obeid, North Kordofan State. The RSF targeted the “Dalil” Cemetery during a funeral procession, killing four mourners and injuring seven others. The RSF also targeted a gas station in El Obeid, seriously injuring five people. There are fears that the death toll may rise as attacks on civilian areas and service facilities continue. In a separate incident, a truck driver was killed when his vehicle, which was carrying food supplies, was targeted in the Jebel Kordofan area. This attack violates the sanctity of civilian life and undermines efforts to provide essential goods to the population. The Sudan Doctors Network condemns the RSF’s systematic and repeated attacks on civilian areas in El Obeid, which have continued for more than a week. The Network emphasizes that targeting civilians, service facilities, and food transport constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. The Network holds the leadership of the Rapid Support Forces fully responsible for these violations and calls on the international community, as well as human rights and humanitarian organizations, to take urgent action to protect civilians and halt the attacks that threaten the lives of residents and worsen the humanitarian situation in the city.

Sudan Doctors Network: More than 61 people were killed in the city of Kauda, including 9 children and 5 women, on a tribal basis, as a result of clashes between forces loyal to Abdelaziz al-Hilu and the Otoro tribe, according to testimonies from survivors. Sudan Doctors Network expresses deep concern regarding reports and consistent testimonies received from survivors in Kauda and surrounding areas, following a dangerous escalation of violations against civilians over the past two weeks. These violations included extrajudicial killings, slaughtering, burning of homes and shops, as well as widespread looting of property, allegedly carried out by forces affiliated with the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement–North (SPLM-N) led by Abdelaziz al-Hilu. According to testimonies from survivors interviewed by the network’s team in South Kordofan, civilians were directly and indiscriminately targeted, resulting in the deaths of 61 people, including 9 children and 5 women. The region has also witnessed a large wave of displacement and widespread fear among residents. The testimonies obtained by the network indicate that Otoro areas have become the scene of horrific violations against their inhabitants, with villages and areas around Kauda subjected to systematic burning and restrictions imposed on civilians, amid the absence of safe corridors for evacuating the wounded or delivering humanitarian aid. This has severely worsened the humanitarian and health situation. Sudan Doctors Network holds the leadership of the SPLM-N fully responsible for the violations committed against civilians in Kauda and its surroundings. The network also calls for the opening of humanitarian corridors to evacuate the wounded, women, and children, and urges regional and international human rights and humanitarian organizations to intervene immediately to protect civilians.

Sudan Doctors Network: 5 people were killed and 9 others injured as a result of a drone strike carried out by the Rapid Support Forces targeting two fuel stations in the city of Kosti in White Nile State. The network confirmed that this deliberate drone attack is part of the repeated targeting of civilian facilities, including vital infrastructure that citizens depend on in their daily lives. This constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law, which mandates the protection of civilians and civilian objects. The Sudan Doctors Network strongly condemned this direct attack, describing it as a blatant disregard for civilian lives and noting that it exacerbates their suffering amid already deteriorating humanitarian conditions. The network considers that the continuation of such attacks worsens health and living crises and undermines any efforts to provide even minimal basic services to citizens. The network called on the international community to assume its responsibilities regarding these grave violations, to work toward holding RSF leaders accountable for crimes committed against civilians, and to exert real and effective pressure to stop the targeting of civilian infrastructure and ensure the protection of civilians in accordance with international laws and conventions.

Sudan Doctors Network: We warn of a humanitarian catastrophe threatening over 100,000 displaced people in Blue Nile State as the rainy season approaches. The Sudan Doctors Network expresses deep concern regarding the deteriorating humanitarian situation of displaced people in the city of Damazin, which hosts approximately 10 displacement centers sheltering over 100,000 individuals. Children constitute 40% of this population, while women and the elderly account for 60% of the total displaced population. These individuals fled the horrors of conflict in the Kurmuk and Qaysan regions and are now living in extremely harsh conditions. The crisis has worsened following the storming of Kurmuk and several neighboring areas by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), leading to widespread displacement. Thousands of civilians have been displaced and are facing dire circumstances, including the spread of epidemics, severe shortages of food and water, and a significant decline in healthcare services within the shelters.
