As Sudan collapsed into fighting last week that has trapped civilians in their city neighbourhoods, cutting off access to water, food and healthcare, community groups, websites and apps have sprung up to mobilise medical help and find basic supplies.
The violent power struggle between the heads of the army and a big paramilitary force, who previously governed together, has killed hundreds of civilians and plunged Sudan into a humanitarian catastrophe, bringing war to the capital Khartoum, which is unused to such violence.
It mobilised a team of surgeons and other medics, reopened a local health centre for urgent cases and set up a hotline for less urgent ones. It has handled at least 25 medical cases since the fighting began, Surketty said. "People started sharing what they need on social media networks and there are others who have available supplies that they share too. I had this idea to group all these cases in one place," he said."Most of the needs are medical due to the lack of hospital services, medical staff and the fact that people cannot reach hospitals," Adel said.
"We don't have money or financial aid. We're just trying to ease communication between people," said.
