The Sudanese Human Rights Monitor (SHRM) condemns, in the strongest terms, the tragic series of events affecting approximately 30 villages and towns across the Eastern Gezira region and the Butana Plain. Since 21 October 2024, the area has seen a critical escalation in assaults on civilians, both within their communities and along displacement routes. These attacks have resulted in dozens of fatalities and injuries, displacing an estimated 46,700 individuals, according to the United Nations estimates. The majority of those displaced are from the town of Tamboul and surrounding villages, including substantial numbers of children, elderly people, and the sick. Relief organizations have recorded the arrival of 39,600 displaced people in the cities of Kassala and Gadaref, while an indeterminate number remain on the roads, seeking safe refuge.
