‘Almost impossible’ to provide aid in Sudanese capital

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said on Tuesday it was nearly impossible to provide humanitarian services around the Sudanese capital Khartoum and warned that the country’s health system was at risk of collapse.
“The truth is that at the moment it is almost impossible to provide any humanitarian services in and around Khartoum,” Farid Aiywar, IFRC head of delegation for Sudan, told reporters via video link from Nairobi.
“There are calls from various organisations and people trapped asking for evacuation.”
Aiywar warned that if disruptions to the Sudanese health system persisted, “it will almost go into a collapse.”
Fighting between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has killed at least 185 people and injured more than 1,800.
