Clashes between the Sudanese armed forces and paramilitaries Operational support forces (RSF) broke out on 15 April and resulted in at least 459 deaths and 4,072 injuries, according to the latest data from WHO. Abid stated that this was an understatement, adding that he himself saw two corpses in the street in recent days.
The fighting has paralyzed hospitals and other essential services, leaving many people trapped in their homes with less and less food and water. WHO reported 14 attacks on medical facilities since the outbreak of hostilities and is moving its personnel to safe places.
Abid said he was transferred from Khartoum to Port Sudan on Monday as part of a large convoy that traveled 30 hours through the desert.
United Nations office The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has been forced to curtail some activities in various parts of Sudan due to heavy fighting.
at least five humanitarian workers they have been killed since the fighting began, and two UN agencies that have lost staff, the International Organization for Migration and the World Food Program, have suspended operations.
