Sudanese soldiers fire at targets in the capital Khartoum, as fighting entered a second month, amid talks in Saudi Arabia to end the violence.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said Tuesday a badly needed batch of humanitarian supplies reached Port Sudan, as more violence was reported amid the conflict between Sudan’s army and a rival paramilitary group.

The shipment included blankets, kitchen sets and mosquito nets for 500 families, the IFRC said in a statement.

Another shipment was expected in the coming days containing medical supplies.

“Most of our aid supplies were already distributed to people in need, despite some being looted in Khartoum and Darfur,” said IFRC Regional Director for Africa Mohammed Mukhier. “So, this international humanitarian shipment comes at a crucial time as it will help the Sudanese Red Crescent Society to assist people caught between the conflict and the next flooding, which is typical in the country.” #sudan #voanews #saudiarabia
