The ongoing clashes between the Sudanese armed forces and the rapid support militia, especially women and children, as the weakest link in all conflicts, and the government of the North Darfur State government, revealed a statistic of the number of dead children and women as a result of the clashes, since the outbreak of the war in Sudan in April 2023 until March.
Ibrahim Khater, Director General of the Ministry of Health in North Darfur, said that the number of children was 2059, while 2468 women were killed since the beginning of the war on April 15, 2023 until March 15, 2025, according to the Sudan Tribune newspaper.
Khater stressed that the total number of dead and the injured has increased to 15,006 due to the continued clashes in the state, noting that there are large numbers of deaths that did not reach hospitals, in addition to the deaths of the dead and the injured daily in the villages in the west, south, east and northern El Fasher, as a result of targeting continuous rapid support for the city of El Fasher.
Khater stressed that the health sector faces many challenges, the most prominent of which is the lack of medical and health cadres, the lack of drug supplies, the weak capacity of hospitals as a result of the exit of most of them from service, in addition to the scarcity of food commodities, the high prices, and the increase in the cost of fuel.
