Sixty workers dead in Kordofan mine
At least 60 workers have died as a result of a gold mine collapse in West Kordofan State, Sudan. There are fears that there are other workers still trapped beneath the rubble. Rescue efforts continue using primitive tools. The incident occurred at the Zar' mining site near Nehoud city. Rescue workers are facing difficulties in removing rocks and soil due to the proximity and dangerous nature of the mines, as the collapses have destroyed many neighboring mines. This accident comes amidst escalated conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, which is funded by foreign supporters. This has led to economic decline in Sudan and an increase in hazardous informal gold mining. The country is suffering from a severe hunger and displacement crisis, with around 20 million Sudanese facing catastrophic levels of hunger.
