More than 2.4 million people have been displaced within the country, where supplies have run low even in safe areas and "between two thirds and 80 percent of hospitals are not functioning", Rick Brennan, of the World Health Organization, said Friday. Those who fled and the millions that remain have relied on the internet to source basic needs, setting up crowd-sourcing initiatives for escape routes, food and medicine. The fighting has killed at least 3,000 people across Sudan, according to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project, with the worst fighting taking place in Khartoum and the western Darfur region.Īccording to the United Nations, more than 1.7 million Khartoum residents have been forced to flee continuous air strikes, tanks and fighters on the streets and rampant looting. Since April 15, the forces army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan have been at war with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, commanded by his former deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo. In Omdurman, just across the Nile river, witnesses reported fighter jets and drones flying overhead. Witnesses in Khartoum North said there were "clashes using all kinds of weapons".
