Research by a doctors’ group and relatives’ accounts shed light on suffering over six weeks of conflict
Hundreds of civilians have been killed and thousands injured in six weeks of fighting in Sudan between the armed forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
The Sudanese American Physicians Association (Sapa) recorded at least 828 civilian deaths and 3,688 injuries between 15 April and 23 May, though the true number of casualties is thought to be much higher, owing to the difficulties families have had in retrieving bodies.
