The capital, Khartoum, continues to witness daily clashes and confrontations between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), as artillery shelling continued in several areas in Khartoum and the old district of Omdurman.
The conflict has led to widespread clashes, looting and plundering, causing a shortage of food and medicine in Khartoum and other cities. This has forced over five million people to flee their homes.
