Sudanese civilians turn to Twitter and each other for survival amidst crisis.

TL;DR
Sudanese civilians are using Twitter to organise aid efforts for those affected by the conflict between Sudan's army and the Rapid Support Forces. The network helps people find safe passages out of the capital, provides medical information, and arranges for supplies to be delivered to those in need. However, the network is struggling to sustain itself and needs humanitarian organisations to intervene. The conflict has caused power outages, making the network's operations more difficult.
