It began last year after the leadership of the army and the paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Force (RSF), fell out over the future direction of the country’s development.
Ambada’s emergency response unit did not specify who was behind the attack in Omdurman.
Volunteers and emergency response teams have faced challenges accessing certain areas due to ongoing fighting.
Much of Omdurman is under army control, while the RSF holds the capital and parts of greater Khartoum.
Over the past few weeks, the army has stepped up its offensive on Omdurman with the aim of regaining control. The army reportedly captured three districts and confiscated weapons left behind by the paramilitary forces.
RSF fighters retreat from positions in two areas. Residents on both sides of the Nile report shelling across the river, with bombs and shrapnel regularly hitting homes and civilians.
“The area has been devastated by prolonged fighting, leaving residents at risk of random bullets and shrapnel hitting their homes,” the Ambada Emergency Response Center said.
Both sides are accused of targeting civilians, including medical workers, and indiscriminate shelling of residential areas.
Recent fighting has forced emergency response units supporting local communities amid the ongoing conflict to close several health centers, affecting the provision of health services to thousands of residents.
