Amnesty International has some information on who supplies arms to Sudan, in spite of an embargo. The US is not among them.

Regarding the recent death toll:

To date, more than 16,650 people have been killed since the escalation in conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in April 2023. Amnesty International has documented civilian casualties in both indiscriminate strikes and direct attacks on civilians. Some of the international humanitarian law violations by parties to the conflict amount to war crimes. More than 11 million people are estimated to have been internally displaced, and millions are at immediate risk of famine.
