BREAKING: Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) warplanes have launched devastating airstrikes in East and North Darfur:

The Sudanese army warplanes have conducted airstrikes on August 20, 2024, and continued today, August 21, 2024, targeting multiple locations. The attacks hit Al-Daein Hospital and Al-Daein market in East Darfur state, resulting in the deaths of 9 individuals and injuries to 19 others. Additionally, airstrikes were carried out in Mellit, Tewisha, and the city of Al-Fashir in North Darfur, as well as in Al-Hasahisa in Al-Jazira state.

Due to the ongoing conflict and restricted access, the Darfur Network for Human Rights has been unable to gather precise details about the full extent of the losses and the identities of the victims in these regions.

The organization’s field monitoring is actively obtaining more information and will provide updates as soon as it becomes available.

This situation highlights the continued escalation of violence in Sudan, causing significant civilian casualties and widespread disruption.
