The World Health Organization (WHO) is warning of a deepening humanitarian crisis in Sudan where more than two-thirds of the country’s hospitals are out of service.
There are increasing reports of attacks on healthcare facilities and staff.
It says for the hundreds of thousands who have fled the violence and crossed borders, life remains precarious.
According to the WHO, disease outbreaks – including malaria, measles and dengue – that had been well under control before the current conflict, are increasing due to the disruption of basic public health services.
It also says there are increasing reports of sexual and gender-based violence against women and girls.
Several efforts at peace talks have been attempted but have failed to result in a proper ceasefire.
The WHO has called on all warring parties to protect civilians, humanitarian workers and health facilities.
