Doctors Charity: Dozens of bodies piled up inside homes in Bara,RSF denies burying
Port Sudan, Sudan (PANA)- The Sudan Doctors Network, a widely spread charity of doctors grouping, has hinted that an outbreak of diseases is imminent in an area recently overrun by the Rapid Support Forces militias who prevented people from burying bodies piled inside houses.
The network complained that the RSF prevented families from approaching bodies pilled inside homes following the recent takeover of the town of Bara, some 600 km west of the national capital, Khartoum.
“The Sudan Doctors’ Network is following with deep concern the horrific crimes being committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against unarmed civilians in the city of Bara — a scene that epitomizes the most grotesque forms of human rights violations and systematic killings.” the charity said in a statement published on its Facebook account on Tuesday.
It quoted field reports received by the Network as indicating that “dozens of bodies are piled up inside homes after the RSF prevented the victims’ families from burying them, leaving the dead trapped in their houses while the living are surrounded by fear, hunger, and thirst.”
Such a practice is meant to humiliate the family of the deceased and is potential source for outbreaks and environmental pollution.
It further added that the number of missing persons continues to rise daily amid a complete communications blackout and the total absence of any effective medical or humanitarian presence in the city.
The statement said that “amid this hellish situation”, waves of mass displacement from Bara continue under extremely harsh conditions. Civilians are fleeing on foot into the unknown, without food, medicine, or shelter, while the health services have completely collapsed and diseases and malnutrition spread among children, women, and the elderly.
It stressed that “what is happening in Bara constitutes a crime against humanity by every measure, and the continued international silence represents a shameful act of complicity.”
The statement said the Sudan Doctors’ Network “calls on the United Nations, humanitarian and medical organizations, and the entire international community to take immediate and serious action to stop these violations, open safe corridors for civilians, and allow families to bury their dead with dignity.”
