Sudanese army says it is coordinating efforts to evacuate diplomats from several countries on military airplanes, as fighting persisted in capital, Khartoum, on Saturday despite a supposed Eid al Fitr truce
Smoke billows over residential buildings in eastern Khartoum on Saturday, during ongoing battles between the forces of two rival generals.
With Sudan's main international airport closed, foreign countries have ordered their citizens to simply shelter in place until they can figure out evacuation plans. Daglo said in a statement he had "discussed the current crisis" with Guterres, and was "focused on the humanitarian truce, safe passages, and protecting humanitarian workers".The fighting has seen the RSF — a force tens of thousands strong, formed from members of the Janjaweed militia that led years of violence in the western Darfur region — take on the regular army, with neither side seemingly having seized the advantage.
Battles have also raged in Darfur, where Doctors Without Borders in the city of El Fasher said their medics had been "overwhelmed" by the number of patients with gunshot wounds, many of them children.People look for water during clashes between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and the army in Khartoum.
More than two-thirds of hospitals in Khartoum and neighbouring states are now "out of service", the doctors' union said. Others have be en looted, and at least four hospitals in North Kordofan state were shelled.
