  "account": "Six artisanal miners have tragically lost their lives and dozens more were injured when four mining shafts collapsed at the Oni El Dakkan mine in Jebeit Minerals locality, Sudan's Red Sea state. The injured miners were transported from the mine near El Ansari market to Port Sudan, approximately 300km away. Rescue teams are still digging to reach miners who remain trapped under the rubble. Mining sites in the Red Sea state have experienced repeated collapses, resulting in the deaths of miners, amid a complete absence of safety measures in mining operations. This incident follows another deadly collapse last week at the El Zara mine near En Nahud locality in West Kordofan, where over 80 miners were killed and many more injured.",
