The fighting has left millions trapped in their homes and some without water, particularly in the suburbs of the capital Khartoum where residents were calling for food donations to help them survive. "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. 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. 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. "With the fighting, there is no market any more and anyway we have no money," said another resident of Khartoum North, Essam Abbas.
