Khartoum, May 17 The already dire humanitarian crisis in Khartoum is worsening as the violent armed clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have entered the second month.According to the latest report by the Sudanese Doctors Union, at least 822 people have died since the clashes broke out on April 15, reports Xinhua news agency.Residents in the conflict zones are facing acute shortages of basic services, food, electricity, and water supply, while the situation has been exacerbated by air bombardments and looting of major local markets.This has disrupted the supply of daily necessities, sent the prices of food commodities to skyrocket, and raised fears about an inflation surge that could push millions of Sudanese to the edge of starvation.Mohamed Noureddine Hashim, a Sudanese economist, told Xinhua that "major food commodity factories and import companies of the country are in Khartoum, but most of those factories have now been vandalized to closure".He warned the number of citizens in need of urgent aid will likely increase "as millions of employees are currently unable to work because of the war.""Prices have increased dramatically for staple goods and there are shortages of imported goods such as wheat flour, oil, and tomato paste," said the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, citing a report by the Mercy Corps."In some areas, shops have closed because of insecurity or lack of goods. Access to cash remains a significant issue in Khartoum and South Darfur, while the increase in fuel prices and transportation costs has hindered both daily life and the ability of people to move out of insecure areas," the report said.Residents of Khartoum are suffering from frequent power outages for long hours due to the suspension of purchasing electricity through bank applications or direct sales windows, according to the National Electricity Corporation."There is no electricity in the northern Al-Shabiya area (a neighbourhood north of Khartoum)," a resident told Xinhua.He said that some residents had to resort to other alternatives, such as generators, but failed to operate them due to a lack of fuel.The power outages also disrupted water supply.In addition, the disruption of the education system is causing deep concerns in the country, as observers said it could leave the future of thousands of students uncertain.Salah Abdel-Ghaffar, a Sudanese academician and educational supervisor, said that over 500,000 students were scheduled to take the Sudanese certificate exams next June, but now their fate is uncertain."If the crisis prolongs, the academic year will be blown in the air," said Abdel-Ghaffar, who also expressed concerns about the "psychological effects of war on children."Witnesses reported direct clashes between units of the Sudanese Army and RSF fighters in the Jabra area in the south of Khartoum, as well as Arkaweet, Al-Mamoura and El-Jeraif in the east of the capital.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
