No end seen in Sudan battles as more people flee

KHARTOUM: Fighting raged in Sudan's capital Khartoum and a city to the south on Wednesday, residents said, pushing more people to undertake dangerous journeys to safety across the East African country's borders.

Those unable to escape grapple with shortages of food and other essentials, surviving only thanks to Sudanese charity networks among friends and neighbors, as the United States expressed cautious optimism over talks to secure the safe delivery of aid.
