UN warns of surging civilian death toll in Sudan war
The UN has warned of a sharp rise in civilian deaths in Sudan as the army intensifies its fight against the paramilitary rapid support forces. At least 275 civilians were killed between January 31 and February 5, more than triple the previous week's toll. The UN condemned both sides for failing to protect non-combatants, urging an end to indiscriminate attacks. The war has already killed tens of thousands and displaced 12 million.
