In brief
About 2.7 million people have returned to Khartoum since Sudan’s army retook the capital, but many face prolonged power and water outages, scarce jobs and medicine, and lingering dangers from unexploded ordnance. With fighting continuing elsewhere and basic services unreliable, some returnees are sending their families abroad again, despite the hardships Sudanese faced while seeking refuge in Egypt.
Across Sudan, multiple artisanal gold mine collapses in the north and Red Sea region have left dozens dead or injured and more miners missing as rescue teams continue searching amid dangerous, informal mining conditions. The incidents underscore how the country’s war-driven gold trade funds conflict and prompts ongoing concerns about safety and smuggling in the sector.
At least 67 dead at al-Zaraa gold mine in RSF-held West Kordofan; Jabara: "We don't know how many more are still inside" without heavy machinery.
WFP Sudan funding fell to $206 million from $645 million. Tawila swelled from 700,000 to nearly 1 million since April, yet gets only two weeks of food a month.
