We suddenly heard the gunshots and explosions followed by screaming babies crying, people running.

That's the capital of Sudan and it's the epicenter of the conflict now unfolding in the region.

We were scared to death with all the noise, patients injured with gunshots and bleeding where everywhere.

Healthcare in Sudan was already severely overburdened and understaffed, but now it's on the brink of collapse

because of the fighting between the paramilitary rapid support forces or the RSF and the country's army.

Mohamed says the fighting trapped the hospital staff and patients inside the hospital.

Me and my colleagues have spent days in a devastating situation doing surgeries, extracting bullets from patients.

And with time and the lack of supplies eventually we lost most of the patients at the ICU.

When the hospital was attacked by the RSF, Mohamed says they were forced to close.

Across the country, thousands of medical staff can't get to the injured because the fighting is so intense.

And while many doctors like Mohamed continue to do what they can to help, there hasn't been much support from the international community.

I've seen in the news a lot of the evacuations, planes and ships to evacuate people and I wish for them to bring some of the needs with them.

But unfortunately, it didn't happen.

Monday marks the 24th day of fighting for Sudan.

Numbers from the United Nations show that over 335,000 Sudanese have been internally displaced.

And about 123,000 have crossed borders to other countries.

My journey seems like it's going to be a very long journey.

So just wish me luck. I would let you know what will happen to me.

Good afternoon. It's day 6. I spent a hard night yesterday.
