The number of casualties in the Sudan war has exceeded previous estimates. According to a new study published on Wednesday, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicines Sudan Research Group, over 60K people have lost their lives in the Khartoum region since the war broke out in April 2023.

According to the report, at least a third of the deaths, or 26K lives were caused by the violence. However, starvation, disease and lack of medical care have emerged as the primary causes of death in Sudan.

According to the report, the death rate in Khartoum State was 50% higher than the national average before the fighting began. Even in peacetime, deaths in Sudan frequently go unreported due to insufficient healthcare infrastructures, morgues, and burial grounds.

According to lead author Maysson Dahab, the researchers employed the "capture-recapture" sampling technique to detect the invisible death toll, which requires at least two independent sources.

According to official UN figures, the war has driven at least 11M people from their homes, resulting in the world's worst hunger crisis. Half of Sudan's population, or about 25M people, are at risk of hunger and need aid to survive. Famine is widespread in at least one refugee camp.

The researchers compiled three lists of deceased individuals for this study. The first list focused on social media studies conducted from November 2023 to June 2024. The second list involved distributing the poll via community activists. The third list was compiled by obituares published on social media in the three larger cities of Khartoum, Bahri, and Omdurman.
