> Older Sudanese displaced by the conflict are struggling to obtain food, medication and healthcare, often without family support. Aid providers say fighting between the government and the Rapid Support Forces has hampered their work. A care home in Northern Khartoum lost its only vehicle for taking residents to medical facilities, and its director said some residents died after being unable to access care.
