Fierce fighting has been taking place across Sudan since 15 April after tensions between the Sudanese Army and RSF paramilitary force boiled over.
Intense violence continues to rock Sudan a week after fighting first erupted between its army and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary force.
Residents reported hearing shootouts between paramilitaries and army forces on Friday morning after it emerged the military had deployed troops on foot in the capital for the first time in the week-long fight. The warring sides are attempting to seize key infrastructure sites and the airport is one of Khartoum's most significant - for strategic and symbolic reasons. It's been the subject of conflicting reports from the two parties, both of whom claimed as recently as Thursday to have a presence there.
Some have been damaged or destroyed in shelling, others have had to evacuate all patients due to fighting while others are suffering severe shortages in staff, medicine, food and power.These are just some of the medical facilities whose services have been severely disrupted or stopped altogether by the violence.
