Sudan conflict causes severe shortages and mass displacement
In Khartoum, Sudan, Red Crescent workers are recovering bodies from a sewage pit, highlighting the ongoing violence between the army and paramilitary forces. The conflict has left the city in ruins, with over 3.5 million people fleeing since it began nearly two years ago. The army has recently regained control of some areas, including Bahri and East Nile, but RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo remains defiant, refusing to withdraw from the capital. The fighting has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and widespread displacement. Survivors face severe shortages of food, water, and electricity. Community kitchens are providing meals, but challenges remain due to looting and damaged infrastructure. The UN reports famine conditions affecting at least 100,000 people in Khartoum.
