Khartum (IP) - After 10 days of fighting between the Sudan army and the Rapid Support Forces, the two sides agreed on a 3-day ceasefire which was announced on Tuesday, but gunfire and the roar of fighter jets were heard in Khartoum on Wednesday a day after the truce.

Iran PressAfrica: Conflicts affected the shortage of basic services for the people of Khartoum and other cities.

Treatment in hospitals, providing water supply, and enjoying basic public services faced many difficulties from the first day of conflict and now the water supply network in the Bahri area of Khartoum has been destroyed due to blasts.

The people of this region, in order to supply water, have to stand in long queues in the middle of conflicts.

Ashraf Al-Razi, a Sudanese citizen, in an interview with an Iran Press reporter in Khartum, said that the crisis of water and food supply is serious. 

This Sudanese citizen expressed his hope that the Sudanese army and the rapid support forces will quickly start negotiations to stop the war.

Ahmad, another Sudanese citizen living in Bahri region of Khartoum, told Iran Press reporter that for 10 days they were facing a severe economic crisis, lack of water, electricity, and food, and the conditions were very difficult.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres describes the violence and chaos in Sudan as heartbreaking and warns the UN Security Council that the fighting could spread to other countries in the region.

Heavy clashes erupted between the Sudanese military and the Rapid Support Forces, the paramilitary group battling the army for control of the country, in the northern part of Khartoum state.

Ceasefire in Sudan is now in its second day but reports of new air strikes show just how fragile that truce between two warring generals really is.

Civilian life has come to a standstill in Sudan. The country's residents are now facing major shortages of food, water, fuel, and electricity.

Sudan was already heavily dependent on humanitarian aid before the violence began nearly two weeks ago.

But the situation has now been plunged into chaos.

Sudan’s army today said ousted former president Omar Hassan Al-Bashir is being held in a military hospital under police custody.

Formerly jailed Bashir and around 30 others were moved to the hospital on the recommendation of medical staff in Kober prison before fighting between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) broke out, the statement said.
