Sudan war traps civilians after ceasefire ends FMTNews FMTWorld
KHARTOUM: Air strikes, artillery and gunfire rocked several areas of Sudan’s capital on Monday as fighting between warring factions intensified for a second day, trapping civilians in a worsening humanitarian crisis.
While the RSF has spread out across most of the capital, controlling main streets and setting up camp inside some homes, the army has the advantage of air and artillery weaponry. “Our neighbourhood is a war zone so leaving is difficult and staying home is difficult. We don’t know what to do.” Hundreds of Sudanese were turned back at Cairo airport and sent back on return flights, according to Cairo airport sources, after a similar exemption for those with residencies in western and Gulf states was removed.No side has made clear progress, and the fighting has spread to several cities to the west in the Kordofan and Darfur regions.
Reuters could not immediately verify the numbers. The highest official death toll from the Sudanese health ministry was 510, reported in late May.
