Artillery fire by Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed at least 22 people in Omdurman, north of Khartoum.

According to a statement from the local Karari Resistance Committee, the RSF bombarded various Omdurman residential districts with strong shelling.

The fighting in Sudan broke out in April last year between the regular army, headed by its leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) led by his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.

Al-Nao Teaching Hospital reported the killing of 22 people and 45 injured, citing that the fatalities may rise.

On Wednesday, the RSF invaded a community in al-Jazira state, killing over 100 people.

The Sudan Sovereignty Council accused the RSF of conducting a massacre, while the RSF claimed to have targeted three camps containing army, intelligence, and volunteer soldiers.

The UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami, expressed dismay at reports of violent attacks and multiple injuries in the community of Wad Al-Noora in al-Jazira state.

Salami stated that, while the UN does not have all of the information about the strike, they do have reliable allegations of heavy weapon use in residential areas, demanding a comprehensive inquiry into the events as well as prosecution of those guilty of atrocities.

Last week, the governor of the Darfur region, Minni Arko Minawi, stated that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) “push their hatred to the utmost extent of their power against the citizens of El Fasher," as he published footage of El-Fasher Hospital bombed by the RSF on Friday with a barrage of missiles.

The RSF withdrew from the eastern borders of El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, western Sudan, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) announced Sunday.

Minawi published pictures of Al-Fasher Hospital, which was bombed by the Rapid Support Forces yesterday, Friday, with a barrage of missiles, at a time when it is the only hospital that receives hundreds of wounded and sick people daily.

Internally displaced in Sudan to reach 10 million people: IOM

The UN's International Organization for Migration (IOM) said on Thursday that the internally displaced in Sudan as a result of the war could amount to 10 million in the coming days. 

In a statement, the IOM said, "The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is warning that the number of people displaced by conflict inside Sudan could top 10 million in the coming days. The world’s worst internal displacement crisis continues to escalate, with looming famine and disease adding to the havoc wrought by conflict."

It added that around 9.9 million people are now internally displaced in all 18 areas of Sudan, and more than half of them are women with over a quarter being children under the age of five.

"In total, some 12 million have been forced to flee their homes in Sudan, with more than 2 million crossing borders into neighboring countries, principally to Chad, South Sudan, and Egypt," it concluded.

The United Nations children's agency UNICEF issued an urgent appeal for action earlier in May to protect children amid escalating violence in Sudan's North Darfur region. Expressing profound concern, UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell highlighted the intensifying violence in North Darfur, particularly in and around el-Fasher city.
