RSF Air Attack on Omdurman Market Kills 54 People

HeadlineFeb 03, 2025

In Sudan, an attack Saturday by the Rapid Support Forces on an open market in the city of Omdurman killed at least 54 people and wounded more than 150 others. Sudan’s Doctors Syndicate said most of the victims were women and children, and that one mortar shell landed just yards away from Al-Naw Hospital. The hospital is suffering a major staffing shortage as nearly two years of civil war in Sudan has nearly decimated the health system.
