Fighting that has raged since Saturday in Sudan has killed at least 270 people and injured another 2,600, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

“I condemn all the loss of human life” and “we stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Sudan,” WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Tuesday.

He also denounced the “looting of health facilities” and the “use of others for military purposes”.

Aid distributed by the WHO before fighting broke out in health facilities in the country has run out, he added, and with ongoing hostilities, it is impossible to organize new deliveries and hospitals in Khartoum lack the necessary supplies to treat the wounded.

He called again for unhindered access to health facilities to be offered to those who need it and called on the warring parties to “work for peace”.

Although it was agreed through South Sudan’s mediation between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitaries of General Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, or “Hameti”, and the armed forces under General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who has been in power in Sudan since 2021 coup, to implement a ceasefire last night, gunfire and explosions continued to be heard in the capital. The parties accused each other of breaching the agreement.
