Sudanese factions sign agreement to protect civilians and allow aid in, but no ceasefire reached.

Sudan's army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have committed to protecting civilians and allowing humanitarian aid, but a ceasefire remains elusive. The two sides signed a declaration in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, after a week of talks, but a senior US State Department official said they were still far apart. The fighting has killed hundreds of people and triggered a humanitarian crisis, with more than 600 people killed and over 5,000 injured. The World Health Organization said 700,000 people have been internally displaced and 150,000 refugees have entered neighbouring states.
