TL;DR Summary

Sudan's army and paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), continue to battle in Khartoum despite a three-day ceasefire due to expire on Thursday. The conflict has killed over 500 people and sent thousands fleeing for their lives. The US and African regional bloc, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), are pushing for an extension of the truce and peace talks between the two forces. Hospitals in conflict zones have stopped operating, and food distribution has been limited, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the country. Many foreign nationals remain stuck in Sudan, and Britain warns it may be unable to evacuate more foreigners.
