According to eyewitnesses, who spoke to “Sky News Arabia” from Khartoum, hundreds of corpses are strewn in various streets, some of which have started to rot and emit an unpleasant smell, and the number continues to increase.
Fatima Suleiman, who left Khartoum a few hours ago for Egypt, said: “Not a single street in Khartoum is devoid of the smell of the dead. Some bodies have lost their identity and some of their families have left the country and have not been able to bury them. So far, no health or humanitarian organization has even reached them.” Now, because of the continued fighting between the two parts.
Muhammad Abdel Jalil, who left the country with her on the same flight, said one of his cousins ​​disappeared a few days ago, and the family could not find him or his body. and most of them have been forced to leave the country due to increased beatings and targeting of civilians in various parts of the country, and the family fears he may have been killed. In the clashes, they could not bury him, calling the case an unprecedented human tragedy.
catastrophic crisis
In this regard, Al-Sadiq Muhammad, director of the International Agency for Development and Relief in Sudan, says that the health and environmental situation in Sudan is on the verge of a catastrophic crisis, with the spread of corpses in the streets.
Muhammad points out that the majority of health and service organizations in the country have ceased to function since the outbreak of the crisis about two weeks ago, which increases the gravity of the current health situation, calling on international organizations to press for the resumption of their work to prevent an environmental and health disaster, and he also demanded that all the dead be buried in their honor and realize the human principle.

As for the Sudanese doctor and activist, Dalia Al-Kabbashi, she describes the health situation in Sudan as “catastrophic”, noting that since the beginning of the clashes about two weeks ago, the roads and the hospitals are filled with corpses.
Kabashi says Khartoum still suffers from extremely poor humanitarian conditions, as corpses are piled up in the streets, despite efforts by volunteers to bury them, in a scene that violates human dignity.
Water and electricity services are also lacking in parts of Khartoum due to frequent outages due to bombardments, and the accumulation of dirt in the streets portends an environmental disaster and the pollution of drinking water.
60 out of 86 hospitals in the capital and states are out of service, meaning 69% of health facilities have stopped providing services.
Currently, 26 hospitals are partially functioning and are also at risk of interruption due to the interruption of medical and food services and the interruption of electricity and water services.
The clashes between the army and the Rapid Support Forces enter the thirteenth consecutive day, with which the humanitarian conditions of the Sudanese have worsened.
