10:03 am
still remain trapped for nearly a week. now with no food and water in the northern part of the capital in battery, there also has been sound of heavy airstrikes and what seems to be our physicians just across from the presidential palace. and this is during a time where there should have been a fire, where people should be able to go out and fuck up on basic necessities and get access to medical assistance for those who need that. but that has not happened. and this is the 4th attempt now for the fire that did not hold fighting is also going on in under the sub apartment and the outside parts of port to me. it looks like from the sources we spoke to, that they are, are the positions that are trying to come in to reinforce those here in the capital . and that the food in these army is trying to fight them back. this has been going on for nearly a week now, and people say that they are fed up. they want to find some kind of respite to be able to leave the capitals. many of them think that they're risking it to be able to go to neighboring state date, such as river now state up in the north of the capital,
10:04 am
hard to me. and because the state, which isn't the central part of the capital hard, assume just seeking safety, no longer trying to stuck up on basic necessities you have, as you mentioned, people, they're obviously trapped and struggling to get out. i mean, are they able to, is it just simply too dangerous to try and flee the city at this point in time while people are taking a risk, understand that they may be faced by army checkpoints or by rapid support. 4th checkpoints, but for many people here, the fact that they have been going on without electricity for 6 days. now, the fact that there is no running water in the capital have them in many parts, many residential parts of the capitol hotel and the fact that their intense artillery strikes in many parts that can be heard. buildings collapsing as a result of that lack of medical facilities at least 50, have been out of function since the have gone out of function since the thoughts of the fighting. so people say that because of the circumstances because of the situation, they can no longer same hostile him for thousands are fleeing the capital,
10:05 am
they're taking a risk. there have been reports of robbery, of those who are trying to flee. they have been reports of those who've been shot as they try to make their way out of the capital hard to them. but for many people, they say that if they say they know that they're going to die because of lack of water, lack of food and lack of safety. so they want to take the risk to try to make it to areas where there is no fighting. where they know that they have relative and where they, they know that at least they'll be able to that basic necessities and get my medical assistance for those who need that. okay, thank you so much of it. it's a morgan for us. and cartoon, the army says it is in control of sedans. more we international airports, north of the city. it's been one of the flash points in the fighting elders, there is, are, some ahmed has more north duck, a lot my bottom other we are the only we are inside the middle. we international airport, where there have been fierce confrontations between the sudanese army and their rapid support forces for the army has confirmed. it is in full control of the
