توفي 46 شخصاً بسبب سوء التغذية خلال شهرين بولاية جنوب كردفان جنوبي السودان. وكشفت شبكة أطباء السودان، اليوم (السبت)، أن نحو 19 ألف امرأة حامل أو مرضعة بحاجة ماسة إلى التغذية.
وأعلنت الشبكة في بيان نشرته على حسابها في فيسبوك أن فريقها رصد وفاة 46 شخصاً في ولاية جنوب كردفان بسبب سوء التغذية خلال شهري يوليو وأغسطس، معظمهم من النساء والأطفال.
وأضافت الشبكة الطبية المستقلة أن أكثر من 19 ألف امرأة حامل ومرضعة بحاجة بصورة عاجلة إلى تغذية إضافية.
وأكدت أن تجويع المواطنين واستخدام الغذاء كسلاح حرب جريمة ضد الإنسانية وجريمة حرب بموجب القوانين الدولية، محذرة من أن الأوضاع الإنسانية تتفاقم بصورة مروعة بمدينتي كادوقلي والدلنج في ولاية جنوب كردفان. ودانت بأشد العبارات استمرار حصار المدنيين وتجويعهم من جانب قوات الدعم السريع، مطالبة بضرورة فك الحصار فوراً وفتح ممرات إنسانية آمنة تسمح بدخول الغذاء والدواء دون قيود.
ودعت الشبكة السلطات المحلية والإقليمية والدولية، ومنظمة الصحة العالمية، وكل الهيئات الإنسانية ذات الصلة، للتدخل الفوري لإنقاذ حياة النساء الحوامل والمرضعات والأطفال قبل فوات الأوان.
يذكر أن ولايات كردفان الثلاث، شمال وغرب وجنوب كردفان، تشهد اشتباكات عنيفة بين الجيش السوداني وقوات الدعم السريع.
وتخوض قوات الجيش والدعم السريع منذ منتصف أبريل 2023 حرباً أسفرت عن مقتل أكثر من 20 ألف شخص، ونزوح ولجوء نحو 15 مليوناً، بحسب الأمم المتحدة والسلطات المحلية، بينما قدرت دراسة أعدتها جامعات أمريكية عدد القتلى بنحو 130 ألفاً.
وتقلصت مساحات سيطرة الدعم السريع بشكل متسارع في مختلف ولايات السودان لصالح قوات الجيش الذي وسّع نطاق انتصاراته لتشمل الخرطوم وولاية النيل الأبيض.
وفي الولايات الـ16 الأخرى لم تعد قوات الدعم السريع تسيطر سوى على أجزاء من ولايتي شمال كردفان وغرب كردفان، وجيوب في ولايتي جنوب كردفان والنيل الأزرق، إضافة إلى 4 من ولايات إقليم دارفور الخمس.

Forty-six people died due to malnutrition over two months in South Kordofan state in southern Sudan. The Sudan Doctors Network revealed today (Saturday) that about 19,000 pregnant or breastfeeding women are in urgent need of nutrition.
The network announced in a statement published on its Facebook account that its team recorded the deaths of 46 people in South Kordofan due to malnutrition during July and August, most of whom were women and children.
The independent medical network added that more than 19,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women urgently need additional nutrition.
It confirmed that starving citizens and using food as a weapon of war is a crime against humanity and a war crime under international law, warning that the humanitarian situation is deteriorating horrifically in the cities of Kadugli and Delingen in South Kordofan. It strongly condemned the ongoing siege of civilians and their starvation by the Rapid Support Forces, calling for the immediate lifting of the siege and the opening of safe humanitarian corridors to allow the entry of food and medicine without restrictions.
The network called on local, regional, and international authorities, the World Health Organization, and all relevant humanitarian bodies to intervene immediately to save the lives of pregnant and breastfeeding women and children before it is too late.
It is worth noting that the three Kordofan states—North, West, and South Kordofan—are witnessing violent clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces.
Since mid-April 2023, the army and the Rapid Support Forces have been engaged in a war that has resulted in the deaths of more than 20,000 people, with about 15 million displaced and seeking refuge, according to the United Nations and local authorities, while a study conducted by American universities estimated the death toll at around 130,000.
The areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces have rapidly diminished across various states in Sudan in favor of the army, which has expanded its victories to include Khartoum and White Nile state.
In the other 16 states, the Rapid Support Forces now only control parts of North Kordofan and West Kordofan, pockets in South Kordofan and Blue Nile states, in addition to four of the five states in the Darfur region.
