Fighting rages
Violent clashes continue for the fifth month in a row between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in the capital, Khartoum, and in a number of regions of Kordofan and Darfur in the west of the country.
The fighting has so far killed 4,500 people, according to United Nations data.
The intensity of the clashes is increasing in many of the three cities of the capital: Khartoum, Omdurman and Khartoum North, especially in the areas near the armored corps headquarters in southern Khartoum and the engineers in the city of Omdurman.
The areas of Al-Shajara, Al-Hamadab and a number of neighborhoods south of Khartoum close to the Armored Corps are witnessing a state of extreme panic, in light of an acute shortage of food, medical services, water and electricity supplies.
Local and international organizations and bodies have warned of an exacerbation of the humanitarian catastrophe, with the high number of victims among those trapped in combat zones.
The situation is further exacerbated by the scarcity of medical and emergency services for the injured and the unavailability of basic medicines. Volunteers and rescue teams find it extremely difficult to enter the besieged neighborhoods and provide assistance due to the indiscriminate shelling, targeting, looting and continuous arrests.
Outside Khartoum, violent clashes continue in the cities of Al-Obeid in North Kordofan and Nyala in the Darfur region, and resulted in more than 50 deaths on Tuesday and Wednesday.

It has a population of about 3 million people, nearly half of the entire population of Darfur.
