Nearly a week of fighting between rival military factions in Sudan is now thought to have killed at least 330 people, the World Health Organization estimates. Journalist Zainab Salih, on the outskirts of Khartoum, says residents are trying to leave the city.

Unicef says 67 million children missed out on vaccinations between 2019 and 2021, of whom 48 million did not receive a single routine vaccine. Nigeria is one of the countries with the largest numbers of ‘zero-dose’ children.

And in Mali, the chief of staff for interim president, Oumar Traore, and three others are killed in an ambush near the town of Nara, some 400 kilometres north of the capital Bamako.
