Sudan Doctors Syndicate: Al-Gezira villages are being subjected to genocide

The Preparatory Committee of the Sudan Doctors Syndicate appealed to the United Nations, the Security Council, and the international community to pressure to open safe corridors for the villages of Al-Gezira State in the center of the country.

It also called for serious action to enable the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and other organizations to reach the citizens of Al-Gezira villages, who it said were being subjected to genocide by the Rapid Support Forces.

The committee affirmed, in a post on social media on Friday, that there was no possibility of providing aid to the injured or even taking them out to receive treatment, and that those who were displaced on foot had their lives taken by death and others were threatened.

The Preparatory Committee of the Sudan Doctors Syndicate explained that the Sudanese people are being exposed to death during this war directly by gunfire and in a more horrific way through hunger and disease, revealing that there is an entire family that died of fevers or a number of their children died of hunger and disease.

The committee considered that Sudan is a forgotten tragedy and ongoing pain, and that what happened and is happening in the villages of Eastern Al-Gezira, which spread to the northern villages and others, is difficult to describe, in light of the army’s inability to protect civilians.

The committee urged the international community to classify the Rapid Support Forces as a “terrorist organization” and punish the countries that support it, or at least force them to stop their support, which has prolonged the duration of the war and the suffering of the Sudanese people.
