Darfur Network for Human Rights strongly condemns these 101 days in all states of Sudan of air strikes on the lives of civilians and their properties. Such attacks violate international humanitarian law, which places a clear responsibility on all parties to conflict to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure during hostilities.

On July 24, 2023, a distressing incident occurred recently, where an air strike massively destroyed the home of citizen Walid Mukhtar. in Um Bada, El Gumaab block 12, Omdurman, Khartoum.
