- Dozens of bodies found stacked in homes in Bara, Sudan.
- Forces block civilians and medics from performing safe burials.
The Sudan Doctors Network has issued an urgent humanitarian appeal, describing the situation in Bara, North Kordofan, as a “crime against humanity” and warning of a growing health and security disaster.
The network criticized ongoing international silence, calling it “shameful complicity” and urging immediate action to prevent further catastrophe.
Bara has been severely affected by clashes since April 2023, resulting in a near-total collapse of healthcare services and corpse management systems. The network reported that dozens of bodies have been found stacked inside homes, posing serious health risks to those who remain alive and raising concerns about the spread of disease.
Rapid Support Forces stationed in the area have blocked civilians and medical teams from accessing these homes to perform burials safely, worsening the humanitarian situation.
Sudan Doctors Network added that this deliberate obstruction of burials constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law. The organization called on the international community to take urgent steps, including opening safe humanitarian corridors for medical teams and enabling families to bury their dead with dignity.
The network warned that failure to act could escalate the crisis into an uncontrollable disaster, highlighting the urgent need for international attention and intervention in Sudan’s conflict-affected areas.
