  "account": "SHENDI, Sudan (AP) — A gold mine shaft collapse in northeastern Sudan claimed the lives of at least 11 miners and left 30 injured, a state official reported on Sunday, as rescue efforts continued for the missing workers. This incident marked the second mine collapse in Sudan within a week. The country, embroiled in a war that has pushed parts of it into famine, is home to thousands of small-scale and informal gold mines. On Saturday night, a collapse in the Oni area of the Red Sea state's northeastern region claimed the lives of 11 people, with 30 others rescued. The search for the remaining missing miners is ongoing. The Sudanese Mineral Resources Co. expressed condolences for the victims but did not provide details on the casualties. Mine collapses are not uncommon in Sudan, a gold-producing nation with lax safety standards. The conflict, which erupted in April 2023 between the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese military, has resulted in over 59,000 deaths, according to a monitoring group, though the actual number may be much higher.",
