A new attempt at a ceasefire in fierce fighting between Sudanese troops and paramilitary forces in Khartoum has failed, leaving people fearful about dwindling food supplies and a breakdown in medical services.
The 24-hour ceasefire – lobbied for by countries trying to evacuate their citizens after days of conflict – was supposed to come into effect at 6 p.m. local time.
However, two eyewitnesses in separate areas of the capital told Reuters that fighting had continued.
