• About 300 civilians have reportedly been killed by the RSF in Sudan's North Kordofan.
• The attacks included arson and targeted assaults in various villages.
• International organizations are calling for urgent intervention to address the humanitarian crisis.

In a recent wave of violence in North Kordofan, Sudan, nearly 300 civilians have been reported killed, including women and children, as the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched coordinated attacks on villages. The Emergency Lawyers, a Sudanese human rights group, detailed that in the village of Shag Alnom alone, over 200 residents were either shot or burned alive, while in neighboring areas, dozens more were killed or went missing, according to Africanews and Al Jazeera.

The RSF's recent actions have been condemned by the Sudan Doctors Network, which deemed them "brutal assaults" violating humanitarian norms. Medical officials report significant casualties, including 11 civilians killed in a specific attack, and emphasized the necessity for international intervention by bodies like the United Nations and African Union to stop these violations, according to TRT World and Africanews.

The ongoing conflict between the RSF and Sudan's national army has intensified since April 2023, resulting in what many organizations now label as the world's most severe humanitarian crisis. With death toll estimates varying widely, some suggest that at least 40,000 have been killed and over 14 million displaced due to the violence, highlighting the urgent need for humanitarian assistance and intervention, as reported by Al Jazeera and Africanews.
