Street battles and gunfire threaten what remains of a fragile ceasefire in Sudan, now hanging by a thread despite a three-day extension of the truce agreement, as a Turkish evacuation plane was shot at as it attempted to land. “Light weapons fired on our C-130 evacuation plane,” it said, adding that the plane had landed safely. Fighting has overtaken the capital, Khartoum, and much of its sister city, Omdurman, and there have also been increasing reports of violence in long-troubled Darfur. Sudanese refugees queue to receive supplements from the World Food Programme in the border town of Adre, Chad. A further 16 hospitals in Khartoum and Darfur states were close to being non-functional due to staff fatigue and lack of supplies, it added.
