the general command, the area of the general command of the army, has been the scene of intense and strong fighting between the rapid support forces and the army. both sides wanting to control it. the army in the afternoon announced that it has taken control of that facility as well as of the airport for to me to national airport, which has not been operational since the start of this fight between the rapids of what forces and the army earlier on, we were able to see heavy smoke rising from the smoke from the vicinity of the airport. that because there was heavy shillings that had fuel depot. many people around the area, many people in the residential areas around the airport saying that they have seen that as well. and that this is making them worried that this fighting will go on for more, for 4 more days and have a will more do we know about what's happening outside the capital? because there are now multiple areas where the fighting is concentrated. is that right? yes indeed,

the fighting is concentrated mostly in the capital hard to me, but there is fighting happening between the rapid support forces and the food in these are mean other locations as well. people have reported that there have been confrontation, military confrontation between the 2 sides on the road from between 2 and a low bays. that's about 4 or 5 hours away from b capital to roughly about 400 kilometers from the capital to me. and then there's the area of the western region of therefore, therefore it is already coming out of 20 years of civil war that has seen hundreds of thousands of people displeased. and people say that be recent fighting that have been ongoing, including today in the, in the southern dar for region as well as the northern part of dar for had made them once again live the trauma that they've lived over the past 20 years. many people say that they had not been expecting the fight between the rapid support for the us and the, and the putting these army, especially in the capital. they were not prepared for it. they're waiting for things to calm down so that they'd be able to get food. they'd be able to get water,

they'd be able to find out ways to lever capital. but here we're looking at some images from inside a hospital by that, by the looks of it looks incredibly overcrowded. we gather, of course, that 39 out of 59 hospitals in and around a team of been forced to close how a staff and civilians coping given that while the 2 are copied, coping in different ways. the staff in the hospital from the very 1st they had announced that the situation in hospitals and medical facilities was quiet dire because they needed medical personnel. and due to the ongoing fighting extra staff were not able to make it to the hospital to provide assistance. now on tuesday, the, to the needs dr. committee put out a statement that they are hospitals that, that have sustained heavy shilling, but that they're also hospitals that have been occupied by our groups forcing the doctors and the patients inside to evacuate, and b, u, and become, and become used as a base by those are group so that has the reason content among the medics here in

the country. hospitals that remain up in operational, despite intense, showing that they're running out of medicine, that they need more medical staff to be able to assist with those who are coming in need of medical treatment. and that generator is because of park us are operating at critical levels and need to restock up on fuel. but that is not possible due to the ongoing fighting, especially hospitals around the vicinity of the general command of the army where there's been in tempe fighting. many hospitals see that they're no longer able to provide services to those the need and that they're afraid they're going to reach a point where should the injured and those in need of medical assistance come to them. they're going to have to turn them away. dire situation for those in need of this fighting rages on, hey, but morgan live in a hearty many thanks or north of the capitol. hot. soon the marae international airport has become one of the front lines and fierce fighting between sedans, army, and the rapid support forces. the army has now taken control of the facility under
