Conflitti · Nyala market strikeNyala market strike: Hospital receives 36 bodies after two attacksScritto 29 ottobre 2026 alle ore 04:44 UTCGuardaTrascrizione0:07Niala Teaching Hospital received thirty-six bodies after attacks on a market and a0:11residential neighborhood.0:12More than one hundred and fifty wounded people reached its emergency room.0:15Civilian food sellers were among the dead, and women and children needed treatment.0:19The unfinished task is finding the missing and determining how many civilians and0:23fighters died.0:24Medical teams counted thirty, six bodies and more than one hundred and fifty wounded0:28patients after both strikes.0:29Twenty one bodies were wearing civilian clothing.0:32That observation alone can't tell us each person's role.0:35The hospital figures cover people brought there from the affected areas.0:38Niala is a stronghold of the paramilitary rapid support forces, known as the RSF.0:43It's South Darfur's capital and the administrative center of Texas.0:46The RSF, aligned parallel government, Sudan's army and the RSF have fought since0:50April2023 .0:51The attacks happened on Monday, October26,2026 , around eight in the evening.0:56Residents initially placed the market in northern Niala.0:59Medical teams and local officials later described a western location, naming Tang1:04Kong Market in Dumaya.1:05Other descriptions use Dumaya Market or the spelling Tangong.1:08The location descriptions haven't been reconciled.1:11People carried the wounded from the market in tuck, tucks, and donkey carts.1:15Patients arrived with shrapnel injuries, severe burns and blood on their faces.1:19Hospital staff worked around the clock, treating women and children among the1:22patients.1:23Their colleagues described them as deeply shaken.1:29A medic's first count was at least twenty, one dead and more than forty injured.1:33That total came before the larger hospital intake became public.1:36The hospital's separate observation of twenty one bodies in civilian clothing1:40measures something different.1:41Neither figure provides a complete civilian death count.1:43A cigarette vendor described hundreds of RSF fighters gathering at the market that1:47evening.1:48He moved his stall between their groups to sell cigarettes.1:50He said the strike killed dozens of fighters and women selling food.1:53He withheld his name because he feared reprisals.1:56Another witness described many fighters killed and estimated around fourteen1:59civilian deaths, mostly women selling tea and food.2:02He also feared reprisals.2:04Civilians gathered wherever fighters congregated because unemployment left few other2:08ways to earn money.2:09The local civilian administration described women selling falafel, snacks, and tea2:13among those affected.2:14Mohamed Didan, spokesperson for Special Operations Forces fighting alongside the2:19army, claimed more than150 militia recruits were killed.2:22He called the site Dumaya Camp and described a precise and targeted airstrike.2:26His description conflicts with witnesses' accounts of civilian vendors among the2:30dead.2:30Doctors Without Borders, also known as MSF, explicitly blamed the Sudanese armed2:35forces for the drone strikes.2:37RSF, aligned authorities, and several rights groups also blamed the army.2:40Diddan's statement adds an army-allied claim of military success.2:44The army itself hasn't provided a direct response, and the aircraft's identity2:48hasn't been independently confirmed.2:49MSF's project coordinator Dale Connects said markets, homes, and key civilian2:53infrastructure must be protected.2:54Selling food to fighters doesn't make the sellers fighters.2:56The presence of armed men also leaves unanswered how the attackers assess the danger3:00to civilians gathered around them.3:02Health Minister Allah al Din Nug claimed one hundred and two civilians were killed3:06and one hundred and thirteen people injured.3:08Darfur Victims Organization Director Adam Musa Obama said his group documented3:12fourteen civilian deaths.3:14He also relayed witness estimates of one hundred and twenty people killed or3:17wounded.3:17Newgood said hospitals and health centers went on full alert, and a medical team was3:22sent to rescue the wounded.3:23By Tuesday afternoon, his ministry was claiming a much larger toll.3:27It said health institutions and medical teams supplied the figures, which could3:31still change.3:31The ministry's later claim was one hundred and eighty, eight dead and three hundred3:35and fifty, six injured.3:36Emergency lawyers, a rights group, separately claimed more than one hundred deaths3:40and one hundred thirteen injuries, with many women and children among the victims.3:44Nobody has reconciled these totals with the hospital intake.3:47The groups haven't explained whether their counts cover the same places or include3:51both strikes.3:52Adding them together would count some victims more than once.3:55The Sudan Doctors' Network still gave at least twenty, one dead and more than forty3:59wounded on Wednesday, citing military operations and security restrictions that4:03delayed its checks.4:04The doctor's network described shelling while medical teams and witnesses described4:07a drone attack.4:08It said access problems had delayed documenting victims.4:11Its lower count doesn't erase the hospital's intake.4:14People were still trying to identify the dead and trace those who hadn't returned.4:18The Sudan Liberation Movement, led by Abdelwahid Elnur, announced five relatives of4:22one member had died.4:22It named Ayman Mohammed Abu Ghassim.4:25Fatima Ismail Sarah Yaqub, Hassan Abdelmanaim, and Mawahib Ali.4:29Their deaths still await confirmation beyond that announcement.4:31The local civilian administration called for an urgent international investigation.4:35This was the second market attack in Niala within ten days.4:38A drone hit Al-Mawashi livestock market on October16, killing at least four people4:42and injuring others.4:44Those casualties belonged to that earlier attack.4:46Repeated attacks put shoppers and sellers in danger while making food and basic4:50supplies harder to obtain.4:51Niala already faces worsening nutritional strain.4:54A treatment-related measure involving children with severe acute malnutrition more4:58than doubled between January and August.5:00The measure rose from five percent in January to eleven percent in August.5:04Its underlying population isn't specified.5:07So those percentages can't describe all children in Niala.5:10They show nutritional pressure before this attack, which now threatens another route5:14to food.5:14Elsewhere, RSF drone attacks have hit electricity infrastructure.5:18Monday's strikes on six power stations cut power to millions across Gazira, White5:22Nile, Senar, and Gadarif.5:24A Tuesday attack on a Transformer station disrupted supplies across parts of5:27Khartoum and Gazeira.5:29Both sides' attacks reach infrastructure civilians depend on.5:32By Wednesday, October twenty-eight, aid worker Mubarak Bekhite said people remained5:37missing and bodies still hadn't been recovered from homes.5:40The final toll and civilian fighter breakdown remain unresolved.5:43Samlees were still searching the affected neighborhood for people who hadn't been5:46found.Leggi l’articoloCronologia della storiaHeyDex
