The United Nations has issued a warning about increasing humanitarian needs in Sudan. Aid chief Martin Griffith has allocated $22 million in emergency funds to assist Sudanese people displaced by the violence.

According to the UN refugee agency (UNHCR), over 1 million individuals have been displaced due to the power struggle between Burhan and Daglo, with hundreds losing their lives during the month-long conflict.

Witnesses have reported gunfire exchanges in both Khartoum and the troubled Darfur region. The involvement of armed civilians has further exacerbated ethnic and tribal tensions.

In Central Darfur, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are attempting to oust Burhan's military from their headquarters in Zalingei, according to residents.

In Nyala, the capital of South Darfur, fighting on Thursday resulted in the deaths of 18 individuals, as reported by Sudan's doctors syndicate.

An armed conflict between rival factions of the military government of Sudan began on 15 April, when clashes broke out in cities, with the fighting concentrated around the capital city of Khartoum and the Darfur region.

 As of 16 May, at least 1,000 people had been killed and more than 5,100 others had been injured.

The conflict began with attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on government sites.

Airstrikes, artillery, and gunfire were reported across Sudan including in Khartoum.

Throughout the conflict, RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan "Hemedti" Dagalo and Sudan's de facto leader and army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan claimed control of government sites, including the general military headquarters, the Presidential Palace, Khartoum International Airport, Burhan's official residence, and the SNBC headquarters.
