Ongoing fighting in Sudan's capital is now severely affecting food supplies, as well as disrupting access to water and electricity, according to Khartoum residents who spoke to the BBC.Ms Saim added that she and her family were now reducing the amount of food they consume in the hope that their supplies last longer.
In Bahri, northern Khartoum, eyewitnesses told the BBC that the main water pumping station had been hit. But Heba, another Khartoum resident, told the BBC that "only a few families" took the advice seriously, as no-one imagined that the situation would escalate to the current extent. Two ceasefires have been announced, but both collapsed as fighting continued between the warring factions.
"We are all hoping this conflict will end soon but stocks are running low, and families should decrease their daily consumption if they want to survive this," he added.
