On Tuesday, the Sudan Doctors Syndicate put the death toll from the ongoing clashes in Sudan at 822 civilians and 3,215 others injured since April 15. The talks have produced a statement of principles around providing access for aid supplies and protecting civilians, but mechanisms for setting up humanitarian corridors and agreeing to a ceasefire are still being discussed.
The army has been trying to cut off RSF supply lines from outside the capital and to secure strategic sites including the airport in central Khartoum and the major Al-Jaili oil refinery in Bahri.
