The conflict has slowly been heating up since late last year after the end of the rainy season. With the escalating deaths, injuries and attacks on civilians, activists have been calling on the United Nations to deploy a peacekeeping mission in the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In January, the army captured a strategic oil refinery north of Khartoum and broke the siege on its main headquarters in central Khartoum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The army chief, Gen.

Sudan\u2019s Health Ministry said that at least 54 people were killed and 158 others injured on Saturday when the paramilitary forces shelled a busy market there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Just days later, on Tuesday, the ministry said that six people were killed and 38 others were wounded when mortar shells hit a main hospital that was already treating people who had been injured in the fighting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Fierce clashes have also ensued this week in South Kordofan, which shares a border with South Sudan, and Blue Nile states, where millions were already facing dire humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Kadugli city in South Kordofan, the latest infighting has left at least 80 people dead, the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/reliefweb.int\/report\/sudan\/protect-civilians-trapped-crisis-south-kordofan-and-blue-nile-statement-united-nations-resident-and-humanitarian-coordinator-sudan-clementine-nkweta-salami\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">United Nations said<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musa, who lives in the city, said many people did not have access to adequate food or medicine. Workers were unable to receive their salaries, he said, and many families had limited cash, especially after Sudan introduced new bank notes last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Clashes have continued all over the city, he said, and the thud of shelling and gunfire had forced many people to hunker down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cKadugli is currently an active zone,\u201d Mr. Musa said, adding that the whole situation was \u201ctragic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The western region of Darfur has also been the site of intense clashes recently, an agonizing reprise for an area that experienced a genocide just over two decades ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since the beginning of the conflict, the paramilitary forces, or the R.S.F., and their allies have <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/06\/07\/world\/africa\/war-sudan-darfur-region.html\" title=\"\">ratcheted up attacks<\/a> in the region and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/11\/16\/world\/africa\/sudan-darfur-fighting.html\" title=\"\">consolidated their control<\/a> over major cities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/06\/19\/world\/africa\/sudan-darfur-siege.html\" title=\"\">laid siege to El Fasher<\/a>, the capital of North Darfur, where they have been clashing with the army and its allies. An attack on the only functioning hospital in El Fasher in late January killed 70 people and injured 19 others, according to Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A resident in El Fasher on Friday reported disruptions to the already fragile internet connections, severely curtailing people\u2019s ability to communicate. Fierce battles and shelling continued to rage in the city, sometimes late into the night, leading to severe injuries and straining the burdened health care system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Fighting across the region has also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/reliefweb.int\/report\/sudan\/sudan-conflict-al-fasher-north-darfur-flash-update-no-01-12-may-2024-enar\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">displaced<\/a> hundreds of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/reliefweb.int\/report\/sudan\/dtm-sudan-flash-alert-conflict-nyala-janoub-nyala-town-south-darfur-update-023-06-february-2025\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">families<\/a>, according to the United Nations, pushing some of them to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/reliefweb.int\/report\/sudan\/dtm-sudan-flash-alert-tina-tina-town-north-darfur-update-001-06-february-2025\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">flee across the border<\/a> into Chad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The latest conflict has not spared children.
