'Desperate' situation for millions trapped in Sudan

Thousands of people are leaving Sudan, but millions more are still stranded there due to war, making a serious scarcity of food, water, medication, and gasoline.

The World Health Organization also points out that 60% of Khartoum's medical facilities are currently inactive, and they anticipate that this would lead to a spread of disease and an increase in fatalities.

The BBC was informed by the director of the Norwegian Refugee Council in Sudan that the situation in Khartoum, the country's capital, is dire.

"This conflict, this heavy urban warfare and airstrikes, to be honest relentlessly through the last couple of weeks, has not just damaged critical infrastructure and of course people's houses, but it is beginning to cause the collapse of the markets and social systems there," Will Carter said on the BBC's Newsday program.

The clashes between the opposing military troops have resulted in hundreds of fatalities and tens of thousands of injuries.
