Executions, kidnapping, and shootings of people attempting to flee were among the killings, according to emergency lawyers, who said that the dead toll had increased by 233.

Hundreds of civilians, including children, have been killed in White Nile state by attacks by Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to Sudanese officials and human rights organizations.

The paramilitary organization has been targeting civilians in communities in the al Gitaina area in recent days after becoming “overwhelmed by its devastating defeat” by the Sudanese army, according to a statement released by Sudan’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday.

The Sudan Doctors’ Trade Union Preliminary Committee reported 300 deaths, compared to 433 in the statement.

More than 200 individuals, including women and children, were killed in RSF attacks during the previous three days, while hundreds more were injured,  according to a statement released Tuesday morning by Emergency Lawyers, a rights organization that monitors violence against civilians.

“The attacks included executions, kidnapping, forced disappearance, looting, and shooting those trying to escape”, the organization stated.

Khalid Ali Aleisir, the Minister of Culture and Information, claimed on Facebook that the RSF’s recent attacks in the While Nile state villages of Al Kadaris and Al Khalwat were the most recent “systematic violence against defenseless civilians”.

With its announcement on Saturday that it had made progress in White Nile and “liberated more cities and villages”, the Sudanese military cut off vital supply lines to the RSF, a rival organization with whom it has been at odds for control of the nation since April 2023.

Millions displaced, thousands killed
According to the UN, the conflict in Sudan has resulted in the deaths of over 24,000 people and the displacement of over 14 million people, or around 30% of the population. An estimated 3.2 million Sudanese have fled to neighboring countries, primarily the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Chad.

The UN stated Tuesday that its human rights office recorded almost 4,200 civilian deaths in 2024, but that the actual number is probably far higher.

In order to aid the approximately 21 million people living in Sudan and the millions who left the conflict overseas, the UN office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs made a $6 billion appeal on Monday for its 2025 humanitarian response in the country.
