Makki fled to Egypt to get medical care for his daughter and left the soup kitchen in the care of his mother and young volunteers from the neighbourhood. The idea quickly spread and hundreds of self-funded"community kitchens" popped up across the country.
Volunteers like Makki were occasionally able to broadcast mealtimes from the local mosque in Omdurman, Khartoum's twin city. "If the army catches you, they say you're smuggling for the RSF, if the RSF catches you they call you an army spy.""People have been killed and raped and assaulted and detained and beaten and taken away for months at a time, we 're used to it," he said.According to several volunteers, kitchens usually only have about two weeks of supplies at best.
