An Iraqi citizen was killed in Sudan on Sunday amid the fighting there, according to Iraq's state news agency, which cited a foreign ministry spokesperson.

Sudan's sudden slide into conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has stranded thousands of foreigners, including diplomats and aid workers, and countries are working to evacuate their nationals.

More than 420 people, including 264 civilians, have been killed and more than 3,700 have been wounded in the fighting.

The conflict has left millions sheltering in their homes from explosions, gunfire and looting without adequate electricity, food or water.
