Thousands who remain in the capital, particularly in Khartoum North, are trapped without water since the local water station was damaged at the start of the war. More than 2.6 million people have been internally displaced, mostly from Khartoum, the International Organization for Migration said. Since April 15, battles between the army led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), headed by Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, have killed more than 3,900 people, according to the latest toll from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). Port Sudan airport is the only one still working in the country due to the conflict. In Port Sudan, on the east coast largely spared by the war, the army said a child had survived the crash of an Antonov plane which killed nine others. ‘We only have enough for two more days,’ Babiker said from Khartoum North, where residents said at least one person, a local musician, has already died from hunger. Now even that is in doubt, but on Sunday a citizens’ support group issued an urgent appeal for donations to help people like him. In a war-devastated district of the city, Abbas Mohammed Babiker says he and his family have only been able to eat once a day.
