The country's public health system is facing challenges due to many medical establishments being affected by combat operations, with hospitals and medicines destroyed.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) agreed to a ceasefire with the Sudanese army on Thursday, but clashes continued on Friday, with both sides accusing each other of attacks on residential areas in Khartoum.

The conflict arises from disagreements between the army's commander, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the head of the RSF, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, with over 600 people reported dead and more than 1,000 wounded since April 15. (ILKHA)
