According to the World Health Organization, 413 people have died and 3,551 have been injured in Sudan since intense fighting began six days ago.

According to Margaret Harris, a World Health Organization official, 11 attacks on health institutions in the nation have been reported.

According to James Elder, a UNICEF official, at least nine children were killed and over fifty were injured in the battle.

He voiced fear that the struggle may imperil the lives of Sudanese malnourished children.

Reporters: “Sudan already has one of the highest rates of malnutrition among children in the world,” Elder said. Approximately 50,000 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition have had their access to life-saving therapy shut off. This poses a significant health danger.

The World Health Organization has consistently asked that all sides to the conflict allow physicians, nurses, and ambulances humanitarian access.
