SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune - Khartoum oil refinery engulfed in flames as firefighting resources dwindle
Sudan Tribune report that a devastating fire raged for two days at the Khartoum Oil Refinery, which is currently under the control of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Reports indicate that firefighting materials used by the Civil Defence have been depleted.
Since November of last year, the refinery, located in the Al-Jaili area approximately 70 kilometres north of Khartoum, has been subjected to shelling.
Civil activists have voiced concerns about the environmental consequences of the intensifying oil storage fires in the region, calling for the evacuation of workers and their families from the housing adjacent to the refinery.
