Fierce fighting between rival forces in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, has resulted in a rising number of Displaced people battling disease and malnutrition. The conflict, which began in April, has killed nearly 3,000 people and displaced 2.2 million within the country, with another 645,000 fleeing across borders. The situation is particularly dire in the western region of Darfur, where civilians have been targeted and killed for their ethnicity. Health facilities are largely out of service, leading to difficulties in treating the injured and preventing the spread of diseases. The UN estimates that 25 million people in Sudan require humanitarian aid and protection.
