Sudanese airstrike kills civilians: An airstrike in Khartoum has killed 17 people, including five children, the Associated Press reports citing health officials in the country. It is not yet clear whether the Sudanese Armed Forces or the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces was responsible for the attack, which is one of the deadliest since civil war broke out in the country in mid-April. Fighting continues.

Over 120k Sudanese people are stuck in the Sudanese border town of Wadi Halfa and surrounding areas because they lack the necessary travel documents to cross the border to Egypt, AP reports citing a Sudanese migration official. Those waiting to enter the country include people who never had passports and those whose passports have expired or were lost amid the chaos of the war. Egypt recently tightened its entry rules to require all Sudanese people to obtain visas before crossing.

An Egyptian naval ship carrying hundreds of tons of food and meds arrived in Port Sudan, a statement from the Egyptian Armed Forces said. The supply ship also transported a number of Egyptian and Sudanese nationals back to Egypt.
