Sudan volunteers shown beaten in video were among those later killed, Red Crescent says

In a shocking turn of events, humanitarian workers in Sudan were brutally attacked, resulting in the deaths of three Red Crescent volunteers and five aid workers. The United Nations human rights office is treating these deaths as possible summary executions, amidst reports of serious rights abuses in areas overtaken by the Rapid Support Forces. Despite the circulation of a distressing video, its authenticity remains unverified. The Sudanese Red Crescent, which has already lost twenty-one workers since the civil war began, is appealing for respect and protection for aid workers. Meanwhile, the Rapid Support Forces deny allegations, and thousands of civilians remain in danger as they face dangerous routes through the desert with little food or water. The violence serves as a stark reminder of the risks aid workers face and the ongoing civil war's impact on civilians. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
