TL;DR Summary

Families in Sudan are facing a difficult decision of whether to stay in their homes with dwindling supplies or flee the fighting between the military and paramilitary forces. The death toll is officially at 331, but the true numbers are likely much higher. Hospitals have shut down, doctors have been killed, and armed men are invading private homes to rob, rape, and kill. Aid groups and the United Nations are also pinned down, leaving Sudanese to organize themselves. The situation is even worse in the war-ravaged western region of Darfur, where markets and medical facilities have been looted, and armed groups are forming to protect neighborhoods.
