Part 12/21:
Two recent reports shed light on the dire situation in Sudan, acknowledging the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding as a result of the conflict. The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine reported a staggering estimated death toll of over 61,000 people in the capital, Khartoum, between April 2023 and June 2024. This figure represents a significant increase in the mortality rate over a typical period, underscoring the war's severe toll on the local population.
Additionally, the humanitarian situation is compounded by rampant starvation and disease due to destroyed health infrastructure. Basic medical care has become virtually nonexistent, leading to unnecessary deaths from treatable conditions, further deepening the crisis.
