"She said that we have received credible reports of heavy gunfire and the use of explosive weapons in populated civilian areas where the RSF have confirmed they have been involved in ground operations."


Dujarric said the special adviser on the prevention of genocide, Alice Nderitu, called for a thorough and impartial investigation to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.


He also said that the International Organization for Migration warns that the number of people displaced by conflict inside Sudan could top 10 million in the coming days.


"This includes 2.8 million men, women and children that were displaced prior to the start of this phase of the conflict in April 2023, and 7.1 million since that date," Dujarric said. "More than half of all internally displaced people are women and girls, and over a quarter of those displaced are children under 5 years old."
