At least 83 people have been killed and 1,126 injured in Sudan as battles between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) escalate, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Fighting in Khartoum and other regions has left residents scrambling for food, water, and medical supplies, with reports of panic buying and closed markets exacerbating shortages.
CGTN stringer Momen Almakki, reporting from Khartoum North, described a dire situation: \"Families are rationing everything. Many fear they won’t survive if the clashes continue.\" The conflict, rooted in tensions over military reforms, has disrupted supply chains and forced humanitarian groups to halt operations in high-risk zones.
WHO warns that Sudan’s healthcare system is at a breaking point, with hospitals overwhelmed and critical medicines in short supply. Meanwhile, global leaders urge an immediate ceasefire to prevent further civilian harm. The UN Security Council plans to discuss the crisis this week, emphasizing the need for cross-border aid access.
For young travelers and digital nomads in Sudan, advisories recommend sheltering in place, while international evacuations remain limited. Social media users share real-time updates under hashtags like #SudanCrisis, amplifying calls for global intervention.
