It must end,” Biden said.More than 550 people have been killed in 20 days of violence, according to ministry of health statistics, but the true total is likely to be much higher as many deaths go uncounted. Thousands have been wounded.
In Khartoum, residents sought shelter from bombardments and airstrikes for the 20th day. “Since yesterday evening, and this morning, there are … the sounds of clashes,” said Al-Sadiq Ahmed, a 49-year-old engineer in the capital. “International humanitarian law is very clear on this: humanitarian organisations, its personnel and all resources and objects used for humanitarian operations must be respected and protected.”
