Residents of Sudan\u2019s besieged capital, Khartoum, said Wednesday that they are facing mounting hunger, sickness and continued airstrikes, despite a declared cease-fire between the country\u2019s two most powerful generals, who began fighting 12 days ago.<\/p>\n
Maysoon Abdallah Abdallmuttalib, who is among the leaders of a network of volunteers responding to crises in the city, said airstrikes led to the death of at least two people on Wednesday and wounded many others, adding strain to a medical system that is already in collapse. As of Wednesday afternoon, Abdallmuttalib said military planes were overhead, and that the bombing continued. During a brief lull, she said her network had received mostly requests for food, medicine and help evacuating, as conditions have grown increasingly dire for those that remain in the city.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this cease-fire, there was no ceasing of fire,\u201d said Gasim Amin Oshi, a 29-year-old engineer who, like Abdallmuttalib, is a member of Sudan\u2019s grass roots \u201cresistance committees,\u201d which have been active since the pro-democracy revolution in 2019. He said Wednesday afternoon that he had been hearing the sound of army helicopters circling, which means attacks are imminent.<\/p>\n
