The Jebel Moon Students Association said in a statement on Sunday, that groups of gunmen attacked the Jemeina neighbourhood in Seleia, which led to the killing of Yousef Yagoub, a graduate of El Nilein University, and Mohamed Adam Osman, a volunteer for various aid organisations.

The Doctors Committee said in its latest update on Tuesday that two of the injured have been transferred to Khartoum for surgery interventions. One of the wounded is critical and being treated in intensive care unit.
