The internet in Sudan suffered a "near-total collapse" on Sunday, as clashes between General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan's Sudanese Armed Forces and Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) entered their second week.

"Real-time network data show a near-total collapse of internet connectivity in #Sudan with national connectivity now at 2% of ordinary levels," said NetBlocks on Twitter, a UK-based watchdog organization that monitors internet access around the world.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recorded the death of over 420 people and 3,700 wounded across different regions of Sudan - while tolls are probably higher as it is almost impossible to get an accurate number in areas witnessing intense clashes.

The UN children's agency UNICEF said at least nine children were among the dead and more than 50 had been wounded.
