Thousands of families in Sudan have been affected by flooding caused by two months of heavy rain, with many forced into temporary accommodation.

Dozens paint the walls and streets of their sit-in camp with murals documenting their struggles.

Volunteers brought barrels of water to the streets of the Sudanese capital Khartoum on Thursday (April 18), filling plastic bottles and cups with water for the protesters amidst the simmering heat.

Thousands of Sudanese demonstrators gathered outside the defence ministry in Khartoum on Friday (April 12) to push for a civilian government after the military overthrew Omar al-Bashir after 30 years of autocratic rule.

President Omar al-Bashir, who has ruled Sudan with an iron fist for three decades, has been overthrown and is being held by the military.

Dozens of people, including children, have been killed as Sudanese security forces try to stifle street protests that are ostensibly about high prices but whose roots lie much deeper.
