    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Seven months after the start of Sudan’s civil war, conditions for many in the capital, Khartoum, are worse than ever - but some of those who escaped from the city in the early days are also struggling to survive.

    “We need a ceasefire that allows us to deliver humanitarian aid to those affected and assess the extent of their needs,” says the UN’s deputy special representative in Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami.

    A few short humanitarian truces were agreed in the early months of the war, but various ongoing peace initiatives are making little tangible progress.

    In a shelter for displaced people in the port city, I met Hawa Suleiman trying in vain to make a meal for her five children from the meagre remains of a tin of wheat.

    As well as the Sudanese, people from many other nationalities are suffering because of this war - among them Syrians, Pakistanis and Indians, and large numbers of refugees from South Sudan.

    She had earlier fled from South Sudan and settled in a camp for displaced people in Khartoum’s north-eastern district of al-Haj Yousif.
