Significant Underreporting of Deaths in Sudan

Significant Underreporting of Deaths in Sudan

 Source: The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine posted on 12 November 2024 a study titled “War-Time Mortality in Sudan: A Capture-Recapture Analysis.”

The civil war in Sudan has resulted in a higher death rate than previously reported.  The number of intentional-injury deaths in Khartoum alone surpass those estimated for the entire country in the first 14 months of the war.  This suggests extensive underreporting of a severe mortality impact in Khartoum and likely across Sudan.
