Sudan is in turmoil as the conflict between the country’s army and the Rapid Support Forces (R.S.F.) The Sudanese Army rejected a call by the R.S.F. for a 24-hour humanitarian cease-fire, as both sides continue to claim control of key installations. As the violence continues, it is nearly impossible to provide humanitarian aid in and around Khartoum, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. If disruptions to the Sudanese health system persist, “it will almost go into a collapse,” warns Farid Aiywar, the organization’s head for Sudan.
