After the departure of most of the "foreigners" from Sudan in the midst of a conflict between the two rival armies, there are still clashes in Khartoum, near the presidential palace, despite the 72-hour truce agreed last night by the Army (SAF) and the rebel militias of the RSF.
This was reported by the correspondent of al Jazeera, according to which "in the vicinity of the presidential palace we could hear heavy artillery shells fired from the positions of the Rapid Support Forces presumably in the direction of the fighters" of the Sudanese Army.
The confirmed victims of the last 10 days are around 500 while the injured would be thousands. The NGOs present in the area denounce the lack of water, food and sufficient medicine and the consequent paralysis of health facilities.
With the departure of foreign representatives, it is feared that the war between the two rival armies could trigger a real humanitarian catastrophe. According to the UN, in fact, a massive exodus could begin that could involve up to 270,000 people heading towards neighboring Chad and South Sudan. Sudanese refugees fleeing the ongoing war just as they fled in the early 2000s because of the conflict in Darfur that claimed about 300,000 lives.
In addition to the humanitarian emergency, the WHO also raises an alarm for the existence of "biological risks" due to the occupation of a laboratory by fighters.
