Sudan’s army claims control of major highway linking Khartoum and el-Obeid

The Sudanese army has regained full control of the Al Sadarat highway, a critical route connecting Khartoum to el-Obeid, which has been under siege by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This development enables the Sudanese army to move troops, weapons, fuel, and supplies more efficiently, blocking the RSF's attempt to seize el-Obeid. Over half a million people are trapped in el-Obeid, where the UN warns of a potential humanitarian crisis. The highway was previously controlled by the RSF since April 2023, following the outbreak of conflict over the integration of the RSF into the national army. The Sudanese army claims that recent operations inflicted heavy losses on RSF forces, leading to their retreat. The recapture of the highway improves humanitarian access and could open new trade routes for livestock and agricultural products from the Kordofan region.

Born too soon: Premature babies fight for survival in Gaza

Noor Salem, a 30-year-old woman in Gaza, gave birth to her second child, Yazan Al-Khalidi, who was born prematurely and required immediate medical attention. Yazan faced breathing difficulties after birth and remains in the neonatal intensive care unit. Noor lost her first child during the 2025 famine caused by Israel's actions in Gaza. The article highlights a significant rise in premature births and maternal health crises in Gaza since October 2023, attributed to factors such as malnutrition, psychological stress, and restricted access to healthcare. Dr. Afnan Abu Hasaballah, an obstetrician, notes that repeated displacement, lack of food, and bombing have contributed to these health challenges.
