Fighting flared again in Sudan on Tuesday despite the latest ceasefire pledges of the two warring generals, meant to allow desperately needed aid to reach besieged civilians.
On Tuesday, air raids and fighting continued late into the night in Khartoum and Darfur, residents told AFP. The RSF said they will "exercise their right to defend themselves" and accused the army of violating the truce. Sudan was already poverty-stricken before the war, with a third of its 45 million people relying on aid.
Entire districts of Khartoum no longer have running water, electricity is only available for a few hours a week, and three quarters of hospitals in combat zones are out of service.What few health facilities still operate have practically run out of medicines and equipment and must purchase fuel at up to 20 times its pre-war price to keep generators running.
