About 35 people were killed and more than 150 wounded in an aerial bombardment of Omdurman, one of the cities of the Sudanese capital, and Nyala in the western Darfur region.

In Omdurman, 6 people from the same family were killed, after an aerial bombardment targeted the Al-Salha neighborhood, west of the city.
 
The Democratic Observatory for Human Rights in the Darfur region attributed the bombing of Nyala to the army aviation, saying that it carried out four airstrikes targeting residential neighborhoods in the city, killing and wounding dozens.
 
The Observatory pointed out that the shelling in one neighborhood left 9 dead, including children and women, and dozens were killed and wounded in other neighborhoods, of the city, which has been controlled by the Rapid Support Forces for about two months.

Attacks escalated on Thursday and Friday in a number of areas of the capital and other cities in the Darfur region, leading to an appalling deterioration in the humanitarian situation.

Since war between the army and the RSF erupted in mid-April, some 12,000 people have been killed and more than 7 million forced to flee their homes, according to U.N. data.
 
Despite international pressure and public anger, attacks continue in Sudan amid severe shortages of medical services, ambulances and medical teams.
 
While some 80 percent of hospitals are completely out of service in Khartoum, Darfur and Gezira state, the few functioning hospitals suffer from severe shortages of medicines, medical aids, services and ambulances, forcing the few teams operating in extremely dangerous security conditions to transport the injured over large distances by rudimentary wheelbarrows.

While more than 80 percent of the capital's population has fled their areas of origin, those trapped face extremely dangerous security and humanitarian conditions.
 
On Saturday, residents of southern Khartoum districts sent distress calls after residents trapped in the clashes ran out of food stocks.
 
Most parts of Sudan are in a state of extreme panic due to the food, medicine, electricity and water crisis, which has pushed many residents to venture into displacement despite the ongoing violence.
 
Local and international organizations and bodies have warned of the worsening humanitarian catastrophe, with the number of victims rising among those stranded, who human rights organizations say are subjected to numerous violations, such as detention and the lack of safe passage for their exit.
