People enquire at the reception desk of the Medani Heart Centre hospital in Wad Madani, the capital of the Al-Jazirah state in east-central Sudan, on May 25, 2023. A one-week truce in Sudan was violated only minutes after it came into effect late on May 22, with residents of the capital Khartoum reporting air strikes and artillery fire shaking the city. Since April 15, Sudan's capital and other parts of the country have been gripped by brutal urban warfare between the regular army, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
