Desperate plea for Sudan aid from UK as civil war rages: ‘Why is nobody watching?’

“In Sudan, we have the problem of the dead body,” says Aida Elsayed. The secretary general of the Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS) is relaying how her volunteers entered an area in Khartoum and found bodies of people who had been thrown into water wells – a grim reminder of the war that has gripped the country.

The “mass grave” where bodies had been disposed of, and some had been left to die, had rendered the local water source undrinkable.
