An army airstrike in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, killed no fewer than 20 people, including two children on Sunday.

Activists in the country say many of the victims of the attack in the Kalakla al-Qubba neighborhood of south-west Khartoum were buried in the rubble.

On Sunday, artillery and rocket fire were reported in many parts of Sudan as the clashes between the Sudanese army and rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces spread.

About 4.8 million people have been displaced inside and outside Sudan due to the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the United Nations said.

An estimated 1 million people, according to the UN humanitarian agency (OCHA), have crossed into neighbouring countries while at least 2 million children have been forced from their homes since the conflict in Sudan erupted in mid-April.

Concerns have also been raised that as the war between the Army and the paramilitary RSF continues, civilian displacement and humanitarian needs would grow.

In the meantime, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported 3,046 suspected measles cases and 84 associated deaths in White Nile, Blue Nile among other regions.

Also, according to the latest update from Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) on Sudan, up to 20.3 million people across Sudan are acutely food insecure and need food and livelihood assistance during July and September.
