  "account": "At least 72 gold miners were killed in air strikes near the Sudan-Egypt border, according to a human rights group. The attack occurred south of the Halayeb triangle, a disputed region east of the River Nile. This is the second such incident this year, raising concerns in Egypt about large-scale displacement caused by the ongoing civil war in Sudan. The Sudan-based Emergency Lawyers claimed the strikes were carried out by the Egyptian air force. The Halayeb triangle, known for mining and illegal goods, is jointly claimed by both countries. Egypt has yet to comment on the strikes, but has previously admitted to operations against illegal gold mining. A survivor reported thousands of people were working at the site when it was hit, but no one knows the exact number of casualties. The conflict between Sudan's military and paramilitary forces has caused over 200,000 deaths and a severe humanitarian crisis. Egypt considers the border war a threat to its security, with the RSF funding its operations through gold smuggling to Egypt.",
