Sudanese displaced people in need of food and water

Khartoum, Jun 1 (Prensa Latina) Fighting in Sudan has left hundreds of thousands of Khartoum residents without basic amenities like running water, medicine and food with some forced to risk their lives and seek it out as the fighting rages on, Africa News reported.

After nearly six weeks of street battles between forces loyal to rival generals and with temperatures regularly topping 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), many inhabitants are in need of medicine and means to move out of the conflict zone

“The Rapid Support Forces bombarded us and burnt our places. Look at our state, look over there, show our sick children (asking to film the sick children),” said Hiba al-Rasheed Mohammed Ahmad, a displaced Sudanese.

A homeless woman, Hiba al-Rashed Mohammed, expressed amid a desolate landscape that “our children are sick”.

Directors of health centers in various parts of the country condemned, on the other hand, health personnel have no enough medicines, so it worsens health situation.

Residents in Sudan fear current situation will deteriorate further after rising armed clashes between government troops and the RSF in the last few hours.

Reports from medical organizations estimated that the number of civilian deaths in Sudan exceeded 1,000, with more than 6,000 wounded and numerous missing and displaced people.
