TL;DR Summary

World leaders have called for a cease-fire in Sudan for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, but fighting has continued between rival armed forces, killing at least 400 people. Governments have sent planes and troops to neighboring countries to prepare for evacuating their citizens, but fighting at airports has prevented any evacuations so far. The conflict has left thousands of Sudanese injured and trapped, with many residents hiding at home while enduring power cuts and dwindling food supplies. The United Nations has halted most operations around the country as aid workers come under attack, and the conflict has pushed between 10,000 and 20,000 people to flee into neighboring Chad.
