TLDR

  • The ongoing conflict in Sudan has resulted in the deaths of at least 60,000 people and displaced approximately 15 million others since it began in mid-April 2023.
  • Over 30 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance due to the conflict between the Sudan Founding Alliance and the military associated with Port Sudan authorities.
  • Airstrikes conducted by the Sudanese military have been reported as a significant source of bloodshed in the conflict, targeting civilian areas such as markets and hospitals.
  • Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch report that the military has used barrel bombs and unguided munitions dropped from transport aircraft like Antonov and fighter jets such as Sukhoi and MiG.
  • These unguided weapons increase the risk of indiscriminate attacks, particularly in densely populated areas, making it difficult to ensure that strikes only hit military targets.
