Fighting has continued in Sudan despite an internationally brokered ceasefire that was supposed to have come into effect late Tuesday. Forces loyal to dueling generals are battling for key locations in the capital and accuse each other of violating the truce. The fighting has left millions of civilians trapped with the UN warning that humanitarian aid workers and facilities are being targeted.
A 11pm to 5 am curfew's been brought in in Sudan's second city of Port Sudan. The extension of an often violated humanitarian truce delivers lulls in the fighing but only a trickle of aid.
Pope Frances prayed for peace on Sunday as fighting continued in and around the capital Khartoum despite a ceasefire agreed by both sides and due to come into force on Monday evening.
Smoke billows over south Khartoum after more than a month of deadly fighting between forces loyal to two rival generals. Since April 15, hundreds have died and more than one million have been displaced amid the conflict between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. IMAGES
The United Nations said Wednesday that $3.03 billion would be needed to provide urgent aid to people in conflict-ravaged Sudan and to over one million expected to flee into neighbouring countries this year. Meanwhile, fighting on the ground has continued, with civilians often the target, reports France 24's correspondent Bastien Renouil.
