Lots of smoke rising over the skyline of Khartoum today as clashes continue between RSF and SAF forces in different areas of the city.

People in Sudan have shared these flyers in a plea for help over what's happening with a water purification plant that services a lot of Khartoum with clean water.

It has been badly damaged and safe access needs to be granted to allow for repairs to be made to the plant.

The water treatment plant in Bahri appears to have been damaged in the initial wave of bombings in Khartoum. In satellite imagery on Google Earth from April 15 we can see a fire in the area, imagery from @planet on April 19 published by @hrw at least one building damaged.

@planet @hrw It has been 26 days since the outbreak of violence in Sudan on April 15, 2023, between SAF and RSF.

Almost one month in and RSF and SAF have agreed to ‘protect civilians’.

One of the agreements was “commit to prioritizing discussions to achieve a short-term ceasefire to facilitate delivery of emergency humanitarian assistance”
