The Rapid Support Forces have targeted the city of al-Duwiem in the White Nile State, leading to medical treatment of numerous injuries by Doctors Without Borders due to drone attacks in Sudan.
In recent military actions in Sudan, the Rapid Support Forces have targeted the city of al-Duwiem in the White Nile State using drones, prompting a significant response from medical teams. According to a source within the Sudanese military, the drone strikes have caused extensive injuries among the civilian population. Doctors Without Borders has announced that it has treated 167 individuals injured in these assaults, particularly in the regions of Kordofan and Darfur during the first half of February.
The medical organization reported that the victims are suffering from severe injuries, such as penetrating wounds to the chest and abdomen, multiple fractures, and injuries resulting from shrapnel caused by the drone attacks. These incidents signify a troubling trend where civilian areas and critical infrastructure—like schools, marketplaces, healthcare facilities, and water sources—have been targeted by aerial bombardments from both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, expanding the scope of conflict beyond military objectives.
Doctors Without Borders has raised alarms regarding the continuous threat these attacks pose to both civilians and humanitarian workers, calling for immediate protection for those affected. The situation underscores a dire need for increased humanitarian support and protection measures for vulnerable populations amidst escalating violence in Sudan.
