A British teaching assistant is heartbroken over the death of her father in the chaos in Sudan.
Tagwa Taha, a teaching assistant in London, found out her father Nadir Taha had died in Sudan’s capital Khartoum on Thursday morning.
She said her diabetic dad, who was in his late 60s, had not eaten for days after armed rebels raided the family’s home.
Mum-of-three Mrs Taha, 39, said: “He couldn’t get out because the house was surrounded by people with guns. The RSF (Rapid Support Forces) raided my dad’s home and stole all their food.
“I think he died because he’s diabetic and he’d had no food. He was in his home with relatives when he collapsed. They tried to call the doctors in the area but no-one could help.”
She added that her family did not even have any water to carry out the Islamic ritual of washing her father’s body before his burial.
