Despite a ceasefire being declared by the combatant military groups, Muslims in Sudan have celebrated Eid al-Adha while hearing gunfire.
Heavy artillery and airstrikes were heard in Khartoum state, residents have reported to the BBC.
It doesn't feel like Eid, Zahra Saeed said, adding that people are "scared" and the streets are "empty.".
Ms. Saeed continued, "Last night, the sounds of gunfire kept me from falling asleep.".
Some people claim that they are too terrified to even participate in the daily outdoor prayers: "For the first time in my life I didn't go," said Walaa Ibrahim, a 22-year-old former medical student.
Rather, a large number of people prayed in their own homes.
They don't respect people or the value of things, as evidenced by the airstrike that is currently being conducted. Such times," the ex-student continued.
The conflict between Sudan's military and a paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which began in April, is now in its tenth week.
According to UN statistics from a little more than a week ago, over 500,000 people have left Sudan since that time, and about 2 point 2 million people have fled their homes within the nation.
It is difficult to determine exact numbers, but it is thought that well over 1,000 people have died in the fighting, many of whom were innocent bystanders.
In addition to the fighting, a lot of Sudanese are having trouble properly celebrating Eid because they lack the necessary funds.
In celebration of Eid al-Adha, Muslims who can do so sacrifice a sheep or a goat and distribute the meat to their loved ones, close friends, and the less fortunate.
This is due to the fact that Eid al-Adha, which is Arabic for "festival of sacrifice," marks the occasion when, according to the Qur'an, the Prophet Ibrahim was told to sacrifice his son by Allah, who then changed his mind and gave him a ram in exchange.
"Every Eid, we used to purchase a sacrifice sheep, but this year the war and the fact that the majority of us were unpaid made things difficult. Because of the high cost, we are unable to purchase sacrifice sheep, claimed Mohammed Abboud Soliman, a cattle trader from the state of West Kordofan.
Additionally scarce are the customary sweet Eid treats from bakeries. Bakeries have been robbed in Omdurman, one of the Greater Khartoum's three cities.
Two bakeries were targeted for robbery, and one of the bakers was tragically killed, one local told the BBC. Due to the fact that they supplied a sizable area, these two bakeries were very significant.
"Looting and robberies against homes happen every day. The situation is getting worse.
