The Rapid Support Forces launched heavy artillery on a crowded market in Omdurman, exacerbating the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region.

  • The attack on Sabrein Market in Omdurman by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) left 54 people dead and at least 158 injured, many of them women and children.
  • Local hospitals, including Al-Nao Hospital, are overwhelmed by casualties and face critical shortages of medical supplies and personnel.
  • The RSF and Sudan's military have been engaged in a brutal conflict since April 2023, killing over 28,000 people and displacing millions.
  • Witnesses reported the shelling originated from RSF-controlled areas on Omdurman’s western outskirts, where the group remains active despite recent losses to the military.
