There was no immediate comment from the RSF.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the RSF aimed heavy artillery fire at an army-controlled sector of Omdurman, a city across the Nile from Khartoum that forms part of Sudan\u2019s wider capital, according to residents. State-aligned Khartoum Governor Ahmed Othman Hamza reported that at least 65 people had been killed and hundreds wounded.<\/p>\n<p>According to Hamza, who called the attack a \u201cmassacre\u201d, attributing it to \u201cthe terrorist militia\u201d, a shell hit a passenger bus and \u201ckilled everyone on board and turned 22 people into body parts\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A medical source in Omdurman\u2019s Al-Nao hospital, one of the last facilities receiving patients in the area, told the AFP news agency that the hospital received 15 of those killed in the attack on the bus, with another seven dying later in the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The hospital had also \u201creceived 45 injured from different areas\u201d of Omdurman, the source added, requesting anonymity for fear of reprisals.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the RSF shelled famine-stricken Zamzam displacement camp in North Darfur, killing five people, according to civil society group the Darfur General Coordination of Camps for the Displaced and Refugees.<\/p>\n<p>Emergency Lawyers also reported six people were killed in North Kordofan state when a drone that had crashed on November 26 exploded.<\/p>\n<p><b>Power struggle<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Sudan\u2019s war broke out in April 2023 amid a power struggle between the army and the RSF before a planned transition to civilian rule.<\/p>\n<p>Both sides have committed abuses that may amount to war crimes, including attacking civilians, a United Nations fact-finding mission said in September.<\/p>\n<p>The violence has killed tens of thousands, pushed 11 million people from their homes and unleashed the world\u2019s biggest hunger crisis, according to the UN.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the UN warned almost 10,000 people a day are fleeing across the border to South Sudan, with daily arrivals having tripled in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The healthcare system, already fragile before the war, has been severely crippled with up to 80 percent of health facilities in affected areas either closed or barely operational, the UN says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People walk past a destroyed vehicle after shelling by the Rapid Support Forces in Omdurman, Sudan Dozens of people have been killed over two days in Sudan as fighting between the army and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) intensifies, according to officials, activists and rights groups.
