Has the Sudanese government responded to the attacks?
Sudan’s spokesperson condemned the attacks, saying that many who were killed were women and children.
“This criminal act adds to the bloody record of this militia,” he said in a statement to The AP. “It constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.”
After the attack on the market, a mortar strike hit near the hospital that was receiving many of the victims of the attack. Sudan’s Doctors Syndicate confirmed that many of the casualties were civilians. The group also said the hospital had a shortage of surgeons and nurses able to assist the victims.
Chris Lockyear who works as the secretary general of the Doctors Without Borders aid group was at the hospital when it began to receive the casualties.
“There are dozens and dozens of people with devastating injuries, the morgue is full of dead bodies. What I see in front of me is a scene of utter carnage, yet another tragic example of this relentless war on people,” he told The AP.

On Sunday, Jan. 26, at least 70 people were killed by the RSF in a similar hospital attack. The conflict has killed 28,000 people and forced millions of others to flee their homes.
