Shelling and air strikes pounded parts of Sudan's capital on Sunday with little sign that warring military factions were ready to back down in a month-long conflict that has killed hundreds despite ceasefire talks in Saudi Arabia.

A resident near Khartoum airport, which has been closed since the start of the conflict, said there had been intermittent fighting throughout the day. Those who have remained in Khartoum have been struggling to survive as health services have collapsed, power and water supplies have been cut, and food stocks have dwindled.
Cases of rape and sexual harassment have been reported in areas controlled by both sides, according to the Civilian Front to Stop the War, a Sudanese group.
