For the past three weeks, Huwaida al-Hassan has been packing herself and two daughters into their car each morning for a short drive to the Albaan Aljadid Hospital in the Sudanese capital city, Khartoum.
The 52-year-old consultant obstetrician and her girls, 24-year-old dentist Waddaha and 22-year-old medical student Zainab, have been tending day and night to injured civilians and chronic patients that have flooded the hospital wards since clashes between warring parties in Sudan erupted on April 15.
