International Red Cross: 'Civilian suffering in Sudan is not inevitable'

The International Red Cross highlights that the ongoing civilian suffering in Sudan could have been largely avoided if the laws of war and international humanitarian law had been respected, especially since combat began three years ago in Khartoum and recently escalated in el-Obeid. This statement underscores the critical importance of adhering to international humanitarian standards to prevent unnecessary harm. The Red Cross's assertion comes amid growing global concern over the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, emphasizing the preventable nature of much of the civilian trauma experienced.
