Late night update
Hello MEE readers. As the fifth day of fighting concludes in Sudan despite a ceasefire, dozens of hospitals have been damaged or shut down leaving many across the country without access to medical care.
The battle between Sudan's army and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group has so far led to the deaths of at least 270 people, and more than 2,600 wounded have been wounded.
In the capital of Khartoum, many are attempting to flee the city in order to reach safer parts of the country. The closure of the airport in Khartoum has led to an "uncertain security situation", according to the US which added that it did not have any current plans for an evacuation.
The US is one of many foreign governments debating whether to attempt evacuation operations to rescue their citizens from the fighting.
Western diplomats continue to push for a stop to the clashes, while the United Nations has issued a dire warning that people are running out of food, fuel, and other vital supplies.
