An attack attributed to the Rapid Support Forces in the Gezira State of central Sudan resulted in the deaths of 13 people by gunfire, according to a medical source who reported to foreign media on Sunday, reflecting the ongoing escalating violence in the region since last month.

The same source stated that 13 individuals lost their lives due to the Rapid Support Forces opening fire on civilians in the town of Al-Hilaliya, located east of the Gezira State, about 70 kilometers north of Madani, the capital of the state.

Under military control, this state witnessed the deaths of 124 people last month, in addition to the displacement of around 120,000 others due to attacks by the Rapid Support Forces.
