Sudan is now more than half-way through a temporary 72-hour ceasefire allowing thousands of people to flee the country.
The UN says the shaky truce is holding, despite reports of sporadic gunfire and violent clashes.
Tens of thousands of Sudanese are continuing to try and reach safety in neighbouring Chad, Egypt and South Sudan.
Foreign countries are using a small air base in the capital Khartoum to get their nationals out but there are concerns significant damage to the runway will hinder efforts.
Alternatively people are using Port Sudan as an evacuation point.
Meanwhile, prisoners charged with war crimes have been released from prison adding to concerns about increased crime.
