Martin Griffiths, the head of UN aid, stated that the warring parties' steadfast determination to continue fighting ran the risk of turning the conflict into a major international tragedy.

For the twentieth day in a row, gunfire and explosions have reverberated around Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.
Witnesses reported hearing loud explosions and gunfire in the streets.
Also audible were heavy bombardments in the nearby cities of Omdurman and Bahri.
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the opposing paramilitary, have not responded to the army's declaration that it was prepared to uphold a fresh seven-day ceasefire.
After engaging the group in combat in the Bahri military region, the military said it had killed RSF militants and damaged a number of "rebels' vehicles."
It apparently aims to drive the RSF away from the region around the army headquarters and the presidential palace.
