KHARTOUM A MILITARY BARRACKS AFTER 6 MONTHS OF WAR IN SUDAN, AND PORT SUDAN AN ALTERNATIVE CAPITAL
The eyes of the Sudanese are turning to the city of Port Sudan in the east of the country, which has become an “alternative capital” to Khartoum after the latter turned into something resembling a military barracks as a result of the continuing war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces for six months. In Khartoum, the country’s capital for more than two hundred years, most of the population of about five million people have been displaced, entire neighborhoods have been destroyed, and basic and central services have been disrupted since the outbreak of battles on April 15 between the army led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. According to the “ACLID” organization, which specializes in collecting data on conflicts and their events, by October “more than 9,000 deaths” had been recorded in the country since the start of the war, a toll that is likely to be much lower than the actual number of victims of the conflict. About five million people were forced to leave their homes and flee within Sudan or seek refuge in neighboring countries.

UNRWA: Jordan first to offer generous donation to address ‘catastrophic’ crisis in Gaza
Jordan was one of the first countries to provide generous financial aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), enabling it to address the “catastrophic crisis in Gaza,” said Tamara Rifai, the agency’s spokesperson. In a press statement to the Jordan News Agency (Petra) on Sunday, Rifai described the conditions in the Gaza Strip as “very bad,” with the agency being unable to meet the enormous needs of Palestinians, especially in light of the scarcity of resources such as water, food, and relief materials. There are more than half a million people in the agency’s schools and facilities in the Gaza Strip, but it is unable to provide for their needs, she noted, calling for the urgent opening of a safe corridor through which relief, medical, food, and fuel needed to operate the desalination plant can enter. The agency had announced an urgent need for $104 million to enable its multi-sectoral humanitarian response in Gaza for ninety days, explaining that these funds will cover the urgent food, non-food, health, shelter and protection needs of up to 250,000 people seeking safety in UNRWA shelters throughout the Gaza Strip, in addition to 250,000 refugees from Palestine. Last Thursday, His Majesty King Abdullah II directed the government to provide aid to the UNRWA so that it can continue providing its relief services as well as food, medicine, and humanitarian needs to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in light of the serious deterioration in the humanitarian situation and the increase of these needs as a result of the escalation and war on Gaza. Subsequently, the government allocated three million Jordanian dinars to be transferred to the UNRWA immediately.
