In recent days, Khartoum State has been sweltering under a scorching sun, with temperatures soaring to 45C, according to the latest report by the Sudan Meteorological Authority.

This intense heatwave has exacerbated existing challenges faced by the residents, including power outages and a severe drinking water crisis due to drone attacks that targeted power stations during armed conflicts. (Photo by Mohamed Khidir/Xinhua)
