The World Health Organization (WHO) warns many hospitals in Sudan are short of critical supplies and some have been militarised as clashes continue.

Fighting erupted between army units loyal to General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the head of Sudan鈥檚 transitional governing Sovereign Council, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who is deputy head of the council.

The WHO鈥檚 Sudan Representative, Dr Nima Saeed Abid, is in Khartoum. He told Newsday: 鈥淢ost hospitals in Sudan do not have the medical supplies they need鈥� some of the hospitals have been evacuated, some shut down, some are being militarised鈥� some patients are still there with a huge risk on their life and care workers.鈥�
