The IFRC is deeply saddened to confirm the deaths of two Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS) volunteers, Babiker Fadl Al-Mawli on 5 July 2024, and Aldow Jaber Ali on 12 July 2024. 

Both volunteers were tragically killed in the line of duty in Sennar State. Since the conflict in Sudan began in mid-April last year, the Sudanese Red Crescent has lost six volunteers.

The IFRC extends its deepest condolences to the families, friends, and SRCS colleagues of Babiker Fadl Al-Mawli and Aldow Jaber Ali. Protecting humanitarian workers is both a legal and moral obligation.

We reiterate our call for the protection of humanitarian workers and urge all parties to respect international humanitarian law. The loss of our staff and volunteers is a stark reminder of the dangers faced by humanitarian workers in conflict zones.
