Khartoum international Airport says humanitarian aid flights and evacuation flights that obtain permits are exempted.
Sudan’s civil aviation authority has extended the closure of Sudanese airspace until June 30, Khartoum International Airport said on Thursday.
Humanitarian aid flights and evacuation flights that obtain permits are exempted.
The conflict between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has caused a humanitarian crisis in Khartoum, as well as major cities in the Kordofan and Darfur regions.
The widening footprint of fighting threatens to prolong the violence and draw in armed groups – particularly those with tribal affiliations – as well as external actors.
It, however, said that humanitarian aid flights and evacuation flights will be exempted from the closure.
Sudan has been ravaged by clashes between the Army and the RSF since mid-April. Nearly 1,000 civilians have been killed and thousands injured in the violence, according to local medics.
The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) estimates that more than 2.2 million people have been displaced by the current conflict in Sudan.
