This is the best summary I could come up with:
Seven months after the start of Sudan’s civil war, conditions for many in the capital, Khartoum, are worse than ever - but some of those who escaped from the city in the early days are also struggling to survive.
“We need a ceasefire that allows us to deliver humanitarian aid to those affected and assess the extent of their needs,” says the UN’s deputy special representative in Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami.
A few short humanitarian truces were agreed in the early months of the war, but various ongoing peace initiatives are making little tangible progress.
In a shelter for displaced people in the port city, I met Hawa Suleiman trying in vain to make a meal for her five children from the meagre remains of a tin of wheat.
As well as the Sudanese, people from many other nationalities are suffering because of this war - among them Syrians, Pakistanis and Indians, and large numbers of refugees from South Sudan.
She had earlier fled from South Sudan and settled in a camp for displaced people in Khartoum’s north-eastern district of al-Haj Yousif.

Yeah well, they’re not white and not making us money so our government doesn’t care.
Which government?
The world government of course - don’t you read the news? eyeroll
It’s a civil war, who should care and how? It’s Sudan’s internal problem and unless they wish to get occupied and colonised, they should deal with it themselves.
