How many people have been killed in Sudan over the past two years? Here is AI's answer: It's difficult to provide an exact number of people killed in Sudan in 2025 due to the ongoing conflict and challenges in collecting reliable data. However, several sources provide alarming estimates and reports: Estimates for 2025: Varying Estimates: Death toll estimates vary widely, with some sources suggesting figures around 150,000 since the start of the conflict in April 2023. Likely More than 175,000: One source suggests that the number of people killed by violence, starvation, and disease is likely to be significantly more than 175,000. Conservative Estimates: Organizations like ACLED (Armed Conflict Location and Event Data) have estimated over 28,700 reported fatalities by the end of November 2024, but this is acknowledged as an underestimate and primarily focuses on intentional injuries. Reports of Specific Incidents in 2025: May: At least 33 people were killed in suspected RSF attacks, including a prison in el-Obeid and a displacement camp in Darfur. April: Over 480 civilians were killed in attacks in North Darfur in two weeks, with the UN human rights office stating the actual number is likely much higher. An attack from April 10 to 13 reportedly killed more than 100 civilians. A SAF bombing in Al Koma killed at least 15 civilians. Over 300 civilians were killed in two days of intense fighting in Darfur around the two-year mark of the conflict. Challenges in Data Collection: Lack of Reliable Data: It's difficult to responsibly provide a definitive number of deaths, as many who would be involved in counting are themselves deceased or displaced. Focus on Direct Deaths: Many estimates, like those by ACLED, focus on direct deaths from intentional injuries and don't include those who die from conflict-related factors like malnutrition and disease. Overall Situation: Intensifying War: The conflict is intensifying, with devastating consequences for civilians. Widespread Violence: Both sides are accused of atrocities, including targeting civilians, sexual violence, and ethnic cleansing. Humanitarian Crisis: The war has created the largest and fastest displacement crisis in the world, with over 14 million people displaced and millions facing severe food insecurity. Health System Collapse: The healthcare system is severely damaged, leading to widespread disease outbreaks and limited access to essential medical care.
