Sudan War Escalates as Port Sudan Attacked

Sudan's civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has escalated with RSF drone attacks on Port Sudan, a city previously considered a safe haven and critical hub for humanitarian aid. The strikes targeted military and civilian infrastructure, including the country's only operational international airport and fuel depots, causing panic and the suspension of flights. The conflict has now displaced over 8.6 million people, killed thousands, and destroyed vital infrastructure, creating the world's largest humanitarian crisis marked by famine and the collapse of health and cultural landmarks. Civilians returning to their homes, like Mosab Abushama in Omdurman, are confronted with devastation, looting, and the use of residential areas as battlegrounds. UN officials warn that the violence in Port Sudan threatens the last lifeline for relief efforts and are urging immediate dialogue and a cessation of hostilities. The ongoing war continues to deepen the humanitarian catastrophe, with basic services and infrastructure systematically targeted.
