BBC World Service - Newshour, Sudan crisis: humanitarian effort underway

Chaos at Port Sudan as thousands rush to leave

Chaos at Port Sudan as thousands rush to leave.

Air strikes have pounded Khartoum, despite a truce aimed at allowing civilians to flee. More than 500 deaths have been reported with the true number of casualties believed to be much higher. Millions remain trapped in the Sudanese capital.

Also on the programme: we hear from the wife of a Wagner mercenary recruited to fight in Ukraine; and the monthly public transport pass that's getting people moving in Germany.
