The death toll resulting from a bombardment at a market in Omdurman, located north of Sudanese capital Khartoum, has climbed to 34, according to local sources.

The victims of Sunday's clash between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) primarily comprised vendors and shoppers at the market.

Omdurman has been a recurring site of intense confrontations between these two factions. While previous conflicts were primarily localized in the capital and the western region of Darfur, the violence has now extended to areas south of Khartoum, as noted by witnesses.

The ongoing conflict in Sudan has resulted in a significant toll, with over 10,000 casualties reported, as estimated by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED).

The recent escalation in violence, especially in Omdurman, highlights the widening scope of the conflict and its impact on civilian populations, indicating a pressing need for measures to address and mitigate the situation. (ILKHA)
