Idadi ya watu waliofariki kutokana na ghasia za Kikabila katika Jimbo la Blue Nile Nchini Sudan imefikia watu 65 na wengine 150 wakijeruhiwa tangu kulipozuka machafuko wiki iliyopita.
Waziri wa Afya wa Jimbo la Blue Nile, Gamal Nasser al-Sayed amesema vurugu hizo zimetokana na uchochezi wa mgogoro wa ardhi kati ya watu wa Kabila la Berti na Haswa, ambapo wengi wa waliouawa ni vijana waliopigwa risasi au kuchomwa visu.
Al-Sayed ameziomba mamlaka za Mji wa Khartoum kusaidia kuwasafirisha kwa ndege watu 15 waliojeruhiwa vibaya kwani hospitali katika Jimbo la Blue Nile zinakabiliwa na ukosefu wa vifaa vya kisasa na dawa za kuokoa maisha.

About 150 others have been wounded in the southern Blue Nile state since the clashes erupted a week ago.
The death toll from days of tribal clashes in Sudan’s Blue Nile state has climbed to at least 65 people, the province’s health minister said.
The fighting between the Hausa and Birta ethnic groups in the southern province has also injured about 150 others, Gamal Nasser al-Sayed said on Sunday.
He told The Associated Press that most of the dead were young men who were shot or stabbed.
Al-Sayed urged authorities in the capital of Khartoum to help airlift 15 seriously injured, as hospitals in the Blue Nile lack advanced equipment and life-saving medicine.
On Saturday, officials had said the death toll was at least 31.
Authorities have deployed the military and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces — or RSF — to bring stability to the region. They also imposed a nightly curfew from Saturday night and banned gatherings in the towns of Roseires and Al-Damazin, the state capital, where the clashes took place.
Blue Nile Governor Ahmed al-Omda had on Friday issued an order prohibiting any gatherings or marches for one month.
Ahmed Youssef, a resident of Al-Damazin, told AFP news agency that “dozens of families” had crossed the bridge into the city on Saturday to flee the unrest.
Hospitals had put out urgent calls for blood donations, according to medical sources.
One source at Al-Roseires Hospital told AFP the facility had “run out of first aid equipment” and that reinforcements were needed as the number of injured people was “rising”.
United Nations Special Representative to Sudan Volker Perthes has called on all sides to exercise restraint.
