Reports say bombs have been raining down for days on homes and civilian neighbourhoods in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur state and Sudan's second-biggest city, leading many to flee their homes.

Men in displacement camps said many were out in the open during the rainy season, no organisation could help them, and they feared the fighting would reach them.

In the south of the capital Khartoum, residents say paramilitary RSF forces have ordered hundreds of people to leave their homes, declaring the Jabra neighbourhood a military zone where civilians should not be.
