Nurse describes treating airstrike victims in Sudan

A civil war in Sudan between government forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces unit has been raging since April.

Today, an airstrike on a market in the south of the capital Khartoum has killed at least 40 people and injured another 60.

Medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières described the scene as "carnage".

Loretta Charles, a medic with the charity working at the Bashair Teaching Hospital, told Newshour's Rebecca Kesby more about treating civilians with horrific injuries.
