BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.

Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

According to the Sudanese Red Crescent, volunteers were compelled to bury 180 bodies that had been collected from battle zones without identifying them because of the ongoing fighting in Sudan's two flashpoints, Khartoum and Darfur.

Red Crescent said in a statement on Friday that since combat between Sudan's warring generals broke out on April 15, volunteers had buried 102 unidentified remains in the capital's Al-Shegilab cemetery and 78 more in Darfur cemeteries.

Army chief Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan and his former deputy Mohammad Hamdan Dagalo who is now his adversary have both made several commitments to safeguarding people and securing humanitarian passageways.

Volunteers for the Red Crescent, who are sponsored by the International Committee of the Red Cross, have reported difficulty moving through the streets to collect the dead "due to security constraints," according to the Red Crescent.

The warring parties agreed to "enable responsible humanitarian actors, such as the Sudanese Red Crescent and/or the International Committee of the Red Cross to collect, register and bury the deceased in coordination with competent authorities" during truce negotiations last month in Saudi Arabia.

The truce deal was mediated by the US and Saudi Arabia, but it fell apart due to frequent and blatant violations by both sides.

All districts in the capital no longer have running water, while electricity is only available for a few hours a week and three-quarters of hospitals in combat zones are not operating.

The situation is dire in the western region of Darfur, which is home to almost a quarter of Sudan’s people and has never fully recovered from a horrific two-decade war that left hundreds of thousands dead and more than two million displaced.

Tens of thousands of people have fled to the neighboring country of Chad as a result of the killing of hundreds of civilians, torching of villages and markets, and looting of assistance facilities.

According to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project, more than 1,800 individuals have died in the conflict.

Medical professionals and aid organizations have stated time and time again that the actual death toll is likely to be significantly higher due to the large number of bodies left in remote, unreachable places.
