The truce brokered by the United States and Saudi Arabia in the Sudan conflict was shaken by fighting, causing Sudanese and foreigners to flee the capital of Khartoum and other battle zones.
Despite a series of short cease-fires, the fighting has continued between forces loyal to the country’s two top generals, leaving millions of Sudanese struggling to find food, shelter, and medical care.
Multiple aid agencies have had to suspend operations, and dozens of hospitals have been forced to shut down.
The UN refugee agency is preparing for potentially tens of thousands of people fleeing into neighboring countries.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the power struggle between rival generals and their military forces is not only putting Sudan’s future at risk but also lighting a fuse that could detonate across borders, causing immense suffering for years and setting development back by decades.
The UN chief urged the Sudanese military and the rival Rapid Support Forces to silence the guns immediately.
Thousands of Sudanese have been fleeing Khartoum and its neighboring city of Omdurman, with some 20,000 fleeing to Chad and around 4,000 South Sudanese refugees returning home.
