Sudan Conflict: Evacuation Challenges for Americans and Allies

Sudan's army and paramilitary forces continue to battle on the outskirts of Khartoum, with heavy gunfire and air strikes heard in some areas. The crisis has left many health facilities non-functional, leading to shortages of food, water, and medical services, and an estimated 50,000 acutely malnourished children have had their treatment disrupted. The fighting has killed at least 512 people and wounded more than 4,000, and has sent growing numbers of refugees across Sudan's borders. Diplomatic efforts are underway to create a sustainable end to the conflict, with proposals including extending the truce and conducting talks between the two forces.
