However, the previous ceasefire was fragile, with fighting continuing in some areas. <h4><span style="color: #3248c2;">Humanitarian Help Delivered During Ceasefire</span></h4> The conflicting parties in the Sudanese civil war have agreed to extend the ceasefire by five days, according to a joint statement from the US and Saudi Arabian governments. The extension will provide more time for the delivery of humanitarian aid, the restoration of vital services, and for discussions on a possible longer-term extension. The current ceasefire was set to expire in the evening without the extension. The US State Department announced that approximately two million Sudanese had already received humanitarian aid in recent days. The UN World Food Programme stated that it has begun distributing food in Khartoum on Saturday and has reached thousands of people. <h4><span style="color: #3248c2;">Fragile Ceasefire Despite Fighting</span></h4> Despite the ceasefire, there were still fighting and conflicts in various areas, including the capital city of Khartoum. Government troops under General Abdel Fattah Burhan and paramilitary forces of the RSF led by Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo continue to compete for power. The conflict that began about six weeks ago has already caused the deaths of hundreds and forced around 1.4 million people to flee to safer areas. <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2329455762588068" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: block; text-align: center;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-2329455762588068" data-ad-slot="7944307428"></ins>
