00:00This donation center in Sudan's second-largest city, Omdurman, people continue to line up
00:06day after day for a crucial meal.
00:10Since the start of the war, the donation point has continued to provide meals.
00:16Of course the situation was difficult in the beginning, and providing the necessary supplies
00:21to people was a challenge.
00:24But the situation has improved a lot.
00:29Many volunteers assist here daily.
00:32Just a few blocks away, fierce fighting rages between the army and a powerful paramilitary
00:38group.
00:39We've remained here since the start of the war and haven't left despite all the circumstances.
00:45The conflict in Sudan, pitting Sudan's army against the rapid support forces, has triggered
00:51a massive humanitarian crisis.
00:53The UN reports that over two-thirds of the population now need health care, food or other
00:59emergency aid.
01:01UNICEF says 3.3 million children are at risk of severe malnutrition.
01:08Already 12 million people have been displaced by the civil war, and the latest developments
01:12have forced even more people to move, bringing even greater challenges for already pressured
01:17aid organizations.
01:19Populations are returning to those places where there is nearly no more public services
01:25available and where the health care system is completely collapsed, so there will be
01:31a lot to be done there.
01:33On Friday, Sudan's army recaptured the presidential palace in Khartoum from the paramilitary forces
01:40as part of a bigger counter-offensive in central Sudan.
