فِي الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ يُولْيُو، أَدَّى هُجُومٌ بِطائِرَةٍ مُسَيَّرَةٍ عَلَى سُوقٍ فِي مَدِينَةِ الرَّهَدِ بِوِلَايَةِ شَمالِ كُرْدُفانَ إِلَى مَقْتَلِ طِفْلَيْنِ عَلَى الْأَقَلِّ، وَإِصابَةِ سِتَّةِ أَطْفالٍ آخَرِينَ. وَقالَتْ يُونِيسِفُ إِنَّ أَرْبَعَةَ بالِغِينَ قُتِلُوا أَيْضًا، وَأُصِيبَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عِشْرِينَ شَخْصًا.
وَدَعَتْ يُونِيسِفُ جَمِيعَ أَطْرافِ الْقِتالِ إِلى حِمايَةِ الْمَدَنِيِّينَ وَالْمَرافِقِ الْمَدَنِيَّةِ، مِثْلَ الْأَسْواقِ وَالْمَدارِسِ وَالْمُسْتَشْفَياتِ. وَقالَتْ إِنَّ عَدَمَ الْأَمْنِ يُصَعِّبُ وُصُولَ الْعامِلِينَ وَالْمُساعَداتِ الْإِنْسانِيَّةِ إِلى الْمُجْتَمَعاتِ الَّتِي تَحْتاجُ إِلَيْها.
وَفِي بَيانٍ آخَرَ، قالَ مَكْتَبُ الْمُمَثِّلَةِ الْخاصَّةِ لِلْأُمَمِ الْمُتَّحِدَةِ لِلْأَطْفالِ وَالنِّزاعِ الْمُسَلَّحِ إِنَّ الْقِتالَ يَشْتَدُّ فِي شَمالِ كُرْدُفانَ. وَطَالَبَ بِعَمَلٍ عاجِلٍ لِحِمايَةِ الْأَطْفالِ وَدَعْمِ الْمُساعَداتِ فِي السُّودانِ.
وَيَسْتَمِرُّ الْقِتالُ فِي السُّودانِ مُنْذُ أَبْرِيلَ ٢٠٢٣ بَيْنَ الْجَيْشِ السُّودانِيِّ وَقُوّاتِ الدَّعْمِ السَّرِيعِ. وَتَزايَدَتِ الْمَخاوِفُ فِي كُرْدُفانَ بِسَبَبِ الْهَجَماتِ وَالنُّزوحِ وَصُعوبَةِ نَقْلِ الطَّعامِ وَالدَّواءِ. وَتَدْعُ الْمُنَظَّماتُ الْإِنْسانِيَّةُ إِلى مَساراتٍ آمِنَةٍ لِمُساعَدَةِ الْأُسَرِ.

Two Children Killed in Attack on North Kordofan Market
On July 20, a drone attack on a market in the city of Ar Rahad, in North Kordofan State, killed at least two children and injured six other children. UNICEF said that four adults were also killed and that more than 20 people were injured.
UNICEF called on all sides in the fighting to protect civilians and civilian facilities, such as markets, schools, and hospitals. It said that insecurity makes it harder for aid workers and humanitarian supplies to reach communities that need them.
In another statement, the Office of the UN Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict said that fighting is becoming more intense in North Kordofan. It called for urgent action to protect children and support aid in Sudan.
Fighting in Sudan has continued since April 2023 between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces. Concerns have increased in Kordofan because of attacks, displacement, and the difficulty of transporting food and medicine. Humanitarian organizations are calling for safe routes to help families.
