At least 420 people have been killed and 3,700 others wounded in the ongoing clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces since April 15, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office on Sunday.
Paramedics, frontline nurses and doctors are often unable to access the injured, because of insecurity and attacks on ambulances and health facilities, the WHO said.
The Sudanese army and the RSF have accused each other of initiating the conflict and the two sides, on Sunday, blamed each other for launching attacks on diplomatic missions in the country.
The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) has condemned "in the strongest terms" the indiscriminate bombings and shelling in Sudan.
The ACHPR, which is one of the organs of the African Union (AU) as set out by the African Charter, said it is following with deep concern the grave unfolding situation in Sudan.
"Various human and peoples' rights of the people of Sudan are put in great peril with the violence worsening by the day," the ACHPR said in a statement issued late Friday.
The ACHPR expressed its "outrage in the strongest terms possible, the indiscriminate conduct of hostilities including bombings and shelling of sites in civilian residential areas causing the death and maiming of increasing number of people."
