BBC World Service - BBC OS, Sudan crisis: Concern for civilians

The UN has again appealed for a humanitarian pause so civilians can escape the fighting

The UN has again appealed for a humanitarian pause so civilians can escape the fighting.

There is growing concern for the plight of civilians in Sudan, as rival factions of the armed forces continue their fight for control of Khartoum and other cities. The Sudanese army has dismissed claims by the Rapid Support Forces that it has captured key sites in Khartoum. Our regional experts explain what's happening on the ground and what's at stake in the region. 

We speak to three people in the capital Khartoum about how the fighting and political instability is affecting their lives and livelihoods. 

There's a public outcry over the shooting of a teenager in Kansas in the US. Ralph Yarl went to the wrong house to pick up his siblings and was shot by a homeowner. Our correspondent has the details.
