BBC World Service - BBC OS, Sudanese flee fighting in former safe haven

The paramilitary forces have advanced into the city of Wad Madani, in al Jazira state.

The UN says at least 250,000 people have fled fighting in a Sudanese state once seen as a safe haven for those escaping the civil war. According to the UMN, the conflict has become the world's worst child displacement crisis. We explain who the warring sides in the war are and hear first-person accounts by people affected by the fighting. We also speak to people who have left the country.

Aid agencies have voiced anger at the continuing suffering of civilians in Gaza. We speak to our correspondent in Jerusalem. 

We speak to a family that intended to travel from England to Australia without setting foot on an airplane. We find out how it went. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
