Fighting

Sudan’s army and a paramilitary force battled on the outskirts of the capital, Khartoum, undermining a truce, but the army expressed a willingness to extend the ceasefire.
The army leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, gave initial approval to extend the truce for another 72 hours and sent an envoy to South Sudan’s capital, Juba, for talks.
Some of the worst battles were in Omdurman, a city adjoining Khartoum, where the army is fighting Rapid Support Forces (RSF) reinforcements from other regions of Sudan. Heavy gunfire and air strikes could be heard.

The World Health Organization said only 16 percent of health facilities are functioning in Khartoum and predicted “many more deaths” because of disease and shortages of food, water and medical services, including immunizations.
An estimated 50,000 acutely malnourished children have had their treatment disrupted. The hospitals still functioning are facing shortages of medical supplies, power and water.
The crisis has sent growing numbers of refugees across Sudan’s borders. The UN refugee agency estimated that 270,000 people could flee to South Sudan and Chad alone.
