• Sudan chaos continues despite a ceasefire order between armed forces and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF)
• There were also reports of gunmen who stormed the homes of people working for the UN and other international organizations
• The violence erupted between the two sides who are vying for control of the region

The chaotic fighting in Sudan continues as the country's armed forces battle for control over the region against paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) despite an alleged ceasefire agreement between the two sides.

The situation comes as shooters reportedly forced their way inside the homes of people working for the United Nations and other international organizations. The violence continued in the region amid confusion over the alleged ceasefire orders.

Sudan Fighting Continues Despite Ceasefire

The fighting enters its fourth day in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, as residents are trapped in the middle. Medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres reported that 11 people were killed in the western region of North Darfur, and dozens of others were injured, including young kids, in the last 48 hours, as per CNN.

Officials from the World Health Organization (WHO) said that at least 270 people had lost their lives amid the fighting and that more than 2,600 were injured in the chaos. They cited Sudan's Ministry of Health Emergency Operations Center for the data on the victims.

There were reports in an internal UN document that highlighted armed personnel raiding the homes of UN staff and employees of other international organizations located in downtown Khartoum. The shooters allegedly sexually assaulted women and stole possessions, including cars.

The report read that armed, uniformed personnel, who were believed to be members of the RSF, entered the residences of ex-pats and separated men and women, taking the latter away. It also highlighted one report of rape.

The WHO also said that the two warring factions in Sudan had seized ambulances and argued that the fighting had caused hospitals to shut down. In a statement, the WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, Ahmed Al-Mandhari, said that the health system in the region has been very fragile for several years, according to Al Jazeera.

The official added that there had been a shortage of ambulances in Sudan due to their seizure by both parties involved in the fighting. The chaos comes as a former Sudanese military information director, Mohamed Ajeeb, said Khartoum was not expected to extend the 24-hour ceasefire.

He argued that the ceasefire was made for humanitarian reasons, not a military one. Ajeeb said the Sudanese armed forces would most likely reject a ceasefire proposal because it would give the RSF time to catch its breath.

The fighting has also caused residents to lose access to water and lighting, as one resident, Duaa Tariq, said she only had one bottle of drinking water. She said that she was saving it for her two-year-old child.

Khartoum 2 area residents said the RSF's troops have been entering people's homes demanding water and food. According to BBC, these reports come amid heavy bombardments, and black smoke could be seen surrounding the nearby airport.
