The medical situation in Khartoum is so bad that interns are sometimes doing operations when doctors can't reach the hospitals, Sudanese doctor Afaf al Haj tells me. Plus, no badly needed medication coming in, no fuel for generators. Tragic situation.

Genuine question for aid workers: why is there no UN/INGO mobilisation at the Egypt/Sudan border? What are the legal or logistical issues preventing them from supporting border crossings? Is this being blocked by Egypt Gov? Or no action within orgs? #Sudan

As Western countries evacuate their nationals by air from Khartoum, Sudanese people are also fleeing. Not by air but by Iand. I interviewed , who with 10 family members, left Khartoum in a bus & drove over 1000 km to Egypt. A dangerous trip.

Brother against brother. I spoke to Mohamad in #Khartoum. One of his brothers is a soldier in the Sudanese army & the other is fighting with the Rapid Support Forces. Mohamad is worried his brothers will die in this war or, even worse, kill each other.
