Shelling in Omdurman, a city adjacent to Sudan's capital Khartoum, has killed more than 120 people.
On January 14, rescue volunteers in Sudan said shelling in Omdurman, a city adjacent to the capital Khartoum across the Nile River, killed more than 120 people.
The shelling of the western Omdurman region on January 13 killed 120 civilians, according to a report from the Ombada Emergency Response Unit, part of a network of volunteer rescue workers across Sudan. This is only a preliminary figure and it is not yet possible to determine who was behind the attack.
Volunteers said medical supplies were in dire shortage as health workers struggled to treat the large number of injured.
Fighting between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has intensified in recent weeks, after more than 20 months of conflict in Sudan. Tens of thousands of people have died in the fighting and Sudan is facing a serious famine.
Both the army and the RSF have been accused of targeting civilians, including medical staff, and carrying out indiscriminate shelling of residential areas.
Residents on both banks of the Nile have reported cross-river shelling, with bombs and debris regularly falling on homes and civilians.
