Good morning. It's utterly devastating and surreal. Before Khartoum became the centre of the war, this was a really vibrant, proud, historic city, over six million people. But then two years of war between these two former allies and then occupation by the rapid support forces until just the last month really has left the city emptied, almost eerie.

Sways of it are torched, damaged, destroyed by artillery and gunfire. And this is from everyday areas to the presidential palace to hospitals, schools, museums. Even the airport has been burnt to a crisp. Before the RSF were forced out of Khartoum, they stripped the city almost like locusts, looting it to a degree that's honestly just really hard to grasp.

And that's from the National Museum where they took tens of thousands of ancient artefacts and even down to electric wires ripped from the walls in almost every building that they occupied. and they strip them for copper. The city is without power, there's a shortage of water, virtually no state services, although they're gradually returning.

Well, there are tractors at the moment clearing debris, teams of sweepers cleaning the streets, and they're still finding unexploded bombs and human remains. But you're right, it's mostly uninhabitable. There's a trickle of people returning, but mainly to find out or confront what's happened to their property and their belongings. We went to a bakery and spoke to the owner, Yousuf Aldi.

He said the RSF looted his home above the shop and they lived there. And for a period, they even kept the bakery open and ran it like it was their own business.

Yes, it's unprecedented. We visited the Al-Buluk Hospital, which is the main and largest paediatric health facility in the Khartoum State region. The wards were packed with malnourished children. The hospital has expanded again and again through the war, but it's still overwhelmed. I spoke to the lead doctor, Ahmed Kholoji.
