Surviving Sudan's Crisis: One Family's Journey to Egypt.
TL;DR Summary
Rawan al-Waleed and her family chartered a bus to escape the fighting between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum, paying 4 million Sudanese pounds ($6,750) to travel nearly 1,000 km (620 miles) north through Sudan and across the border to the Egyptian city of Aswan. They completed a 72-hour journey to Cairo, where they are staying in a residential compound. The fighting has trapped many in their homes or neighbourhoods, destroyed or closed most hospitals, caused lengthy power and water cuts, and led to lawlessness and looting in some areas.
