Pregnant women in Khartoum are at risk of giving birth early due to the escalation of armed clashes. Heavy fighting between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on April 15 has led to the closure of 60 percent of health facilities.
Dozens of midwives announce their readiness to provide assistance to pregnant women by placing phone numbers and locating their places of residence to facilitate communication in the event of any emergency. Doctors say they received several premature births in the early days of the war, which resulted from the intense fear.
