Sudan is grappling with a humanitarian emergency as violent clashes between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) disrupt daily life across the country. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports at least 83 fatalities and 1,126 injuries since fighting erupted, including in the capital Khartoum.
Residents now face dwindling supplies of food, water, and medicine. CGTN stringer Momen Almakki describes Khartoum North as a city 'caught in the crossfire,' with families rationing essentials amid explosions and blocked roads. \"The shelves are emptying faster than people’s hopes,\" one local told Almakki.
The WHO warns that hospitals are overwhelmed, while social media footage shows civilians transforming basements into makeshift shelters. Analysts compare the crisis to a dystopian thriller—except this is real life for millions.
For young global citizens tracking this story: The conflict stems from tensions over Sudan’s political transition. Stay tuned as diplomats push for ceasefires and aid corridors.
