The death toll in the explosion at a market in Sudan has reached 54 people

According to the Report, this was reported to Agence France-Presse by a source among doctors at a local hospital.

According to the source, the wounded continue to be taken to a medical facility, but the hospital lacks the strength and resources to provide assistance to all the injured. Reuters, citing the Ministry of Health, reports 158 injured.

Witnesses to Saturday's shelling told AFP that the drone-backed artillery fire came from the western Omdurman district, which is controlled by the paramilitary group Rapid Reaction Forces, which has been fighting government forces since April 2023.

"The rockets landed in the middle of a vegetable market, which is why there are so many victims and wounded," said a survivor of the shelling.

Tens of thousands of people have died as a result of the war in Sudan, and more than 12 million Sudanese have been forced to leave their homes. Famine has been reported in several areas, especially in the western region of Darfur.
