Sudan Conflict: Dozens Killed in Attack on Khartoum Market
At least 35 people have been killed after a crowded market in Sudan’s capital was hit with “explosive weapons”, a medical charity says.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) described it as “carnage”, saying that more than 60 people had also been wounded in the attack.
Local residents say a military aircraft bombarded the Qouro market in southern Khartoum on Sunday.
Rival military factions have been fighting since April.
On Sunday MSF’s emergency co-ordinator Marie Burton said Khartoum “has been at war for almost six months”.
“But still, the volunteers and medical personnel in Bashair hospital are shocked and overwhelmed by the scale of horror that struck the city” on Sunday, she added on X, formerly Twitter.
“We’re trying to save the lives of people whose body parts have been ripped off by the explosion. It was a carnage,” MSF added.
