Deadly air strike kills dozens at Sudan gold mine near Egypt border

At least 72 gold miners were killed in air strikes near the disputed Halayeb triangle border region between Sudan and Egypt on Saturday. The strike also injured over 50 people. A human rights group, Emergency Lawyers based in Khartoum, accused the Egyptian air force of carrying out the attack, claiming it was an attempt to assert control over Sudan's natural resources. Survivors told reporters that thousands were working at the site when it was hit. The Sudan Doctors Network warned on Facebook of an expected increase in casualties due to severe injuries and difficulties accessing medical care in the area. Neither Egypt nor the de facto Sudanese authorities have commented yet, raising concerns about potential war crimes given the targeting of unarmed civilians.
