Health conditions have deteriorated due to overcrowding and the lack of medical aid in detention centers.
On Wednesday, the Sudan Doctors Network (SDN) denounced that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group is holding more than 19,000 people in inhumane conditions in South Darfur. Those detained include civilians, doctors, police officers, soldiers, and political activists.

They are being held in prisons such as Dagris and Kober, near Nyala city, and in other detention centers throughout the region. Among those detained are 4,270 police officers, 544 members of the Security Service, 3,795 soldiers, and 5,000 people captured in Al Fasher.
In addition, 5,434 civilians, including politicians, journalists, and 73 healthcare professionals, were detained in Khartoum and Darfur, where the RSF has established a “parallel government” after the seizure of the Al Fasher region on October 26.
Health conditions have deteriorated severely due to overcrowding and the lack of medical isolation. The Sudan Doctors Network confirmed a cholera outbreak, along with shortages of medicine, drinking water, and food, resulting in more than four deaths per week in detention centers.
After consolidating their control in Darfur, the RSF is advancing toward Kordofan, where they are perpetrating mass arrests, massacres, and war crimes denounced by the Sudanese government and the United Nations (UN).

The war in Sudan began on April 15, 2023, and since then, tens of thousands have died, more than 13 million have been displaced, and more than half the population faces acute food insecurity.
Recently, UN officials condemned drone attacks in South Kordofan, which struck a kindergarten and a hospital in Kalogi, and killed 114 people, including 63 children. These attacks have severely disrupted humanitarian operations and medical equipment.
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom confirmed that the Kalogi hospital was attacked three times and urged blood donations for the wounded. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also denounced the attacks and called for a halt to the flow of weapons.
