A new escalation in Sudan's war: a death trap in the desert

Local journalist Ahmed Awad describes the situation as a state of siege, with limited access to basic necessities and increasing danger for aid workers. The article highlights the destruction of essential services and the dire living conditions faced by civilians, particularly children, who are being supported by organizations like Plan International.
