Sudan violence reportedly expanding to former safe haven

There are reports of big fighting near the capital of Sudan, Khartoum. Many civilians who were forced to leave their homes because of the war live there.

People who saw it happening say that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) entered al-Jazira state in a big way.

It was a pretty safe place.

Since the fighting started in April, about seven million people from Sudan had to leave their homes.

Less than a week ago, local leaders said that the fighting groups in Sudan had agreed to meet in person to talk and try to stop the fighting.

However, the fighting is getting worse and the people who have been forced to leave their homes are preparing to run away to save themselves once more.

Fighting for control of Khartoum made almost 500,000 people move south to al-Jazira.

However, the RSF launched a big attack and now there is fighting near the state capital, Wad Madina, with fighter jets flying overhead.

This area grows a lot of food, but because of the war, many people who need help getting food cannot get it.
