On Sunday, September 10, air strikes targeted an open market located south of Sudan's capital, Khartoum, resulting in the tragic loss of at least 46 lives, according to reports from activists and a medical organization.

The attack, which took place in Khartoum's May neighborhood, a region heavily occupied by paramilitary forces engaged in conflict with the military, left over 50 individuals wounded, as stated by the Sudan Doctors' Union in an official statement.

The injured and the deceased were transported to the nearest hospital in Bachaïr.

This facility remains one of the few operational hospitals in Khartoum, where approximately 5 million residents find themselves confined to their homes with sporadic access to electricity and running water.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attributed Sunday's attack to the military's air force, while the military denied intentionally targeting civilians, dismissing the RSF's accusations as "false and misleading claims."

Sudan has been marred by violence since mid-April, when tensions between the country's military leader, General Abdel Fattah Burhan, and the paramilitary general, General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, escalated into open conflict. This conflict has since extended to various parts of the nation.

In the Greater Khartoum area, RSF troops have commandeered civilian residences for use as operational bases, prompting military airstrikes on these residential areas, as reported by rights groups and activists.

The number of internally displaced individuals has nearly doubled since mid-April, reaching an alarming figure of at least 7.1 million people, according to the United Nations refugee agency.
