Introduction

Two armies are fighting in Sudan. Many people are dying and the country has big problems.

Main Body

Two groups fight for land. One group controls the north and east. Another group controls the west. They destroy buildings and kill civilians. Some soldiers hurt women on purpose. This is a part of the war. Many children are born from this violence. It is hard for these children to get legal papers. Bombs and drones hurt many children in the city of Khartoum. More than 200 hospitals are destroyed. There is not enough money to help the sick people.

Conclusion

Sudan is not safe. Millions of people leave their homes. The hospitals cannot help them.
