Sudan’s conflict between the army and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continues for a sixth day.
Due to the chaos, residents have been fleeing Khartoum, and this is due to fear about dwindling food supplies and the collapse of medical services.
According to Norway’s ambassador to Sudan Endre Stiansen, the current conditions are “hellish”.
Per reports, about 270 people have died as a result of the unrest happening.
Sudan’s paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces on Wednesday said it set up a call centre to receive distress calls from the citizens and foreigners in the capital, Khartoum.
“The room operates under the supervision of a force comprising various legal, medical and rescue teams, a direct communication mechanism is allocated to serve 24/7, to provide humanitarian aid and contribute to evacuations and resolve insecurities,” the group said in a statement posted on Twitter.
It said the room was located in the RSF’s controlled areas in Khartoum.
Meanwhile, the Libyan National Army (LNA), a group of armed forces loyal to Gen Khalifa Haftar, has denied providing support to a rival party in Sudan amid the deadly fighting.
Gen Haftar heads Libya’s parallel government in control in the east of the country, but which is not recognised by the international community
“The General Command categorically denies reports of providing support to one party against the other,” LNA spokesman Ahmad Mesmari is quoted as saying in statement by the Reuters news agency.
He said the army was ready to play a mediating role between the rival parties in Sudan.
