A state of discontent prevailed in Sudan after clips circulated on social media showing the burial of Egyptian doctor Majdoline Youssef Ghali, last Thursday evening, in the garden of her house in Khartoum, because she could not be buried in the cemetery due to the seriousness of the security situation due to the continuous fighting between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces.
The Ministry of Health in Khartoum state mourned Majdolin, a consultant anesthesiologist and resuscitator, and stated that she and her sister were found dead under the rubble of their home in the Amarat area, after it was targeted by a missile on May 6.
Ziauddin Malik, a member of the Council of Medical Specialties, said the burial was supervised by a medical team and was approved by the Coptic Church, to which the two doctors belong.
A large number of bloggers reacted to this incident, as the "Buildings Resistance Committee" issued a statement mourning the deaths of the two Egyptian doctors, and condemning the use of unarmed civilians and residential houses as human shields, demanding an end to the fighting and an end to the conversion of residential neighborhoods into military barracks.
Many Sudanese bloggers also expressed regret for reaching this situation, and Shaima Osman wrote, "I was really sad, I can't believe that the burial has become in homes, but this scene reminded me of the dead lying in the streets for days without identifying or transporting them, so he was lucky to find him and bury them humanly."
Abrar Aleem spoke of the tragedy, saying, "Our homes have become cemeteries."
It is noteworthy that no statement was issued by the Egyptian authorities, either the Egyptian embassy in Sudan, the Doctors' Syndicate and the Ministry of Health, regarding the killing of the two doctors.
At the beginning of the conflict, University of Khartoum student Khaled al-Taqee, who died during clashes in the vicinity of the university and its siege by the Rapid Support Forces for four days, was buried in the eastern part of the university after taking permission from his family and the approval of the director of the institution.
Other people were buried in their homes because they were difficult to transport during the clashes, including the famous Sudanese actress Asia Abdel Majid, whose family announced that she was buried at the headquarters of the institution where she died.
