Worsening Humanitarian Crisis

Sudan, engulfed in a war between the Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces since April 2023, is facing what the United Nations has described as “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.”

Famine, widespread food insecurity, disease outbreaks, and the collapse of healthcare and public services are taking a severe toll on civilians. In April, two years into the conflict, the UN World Food Programme reported that nearly half of Sudan’s population is now going hungry.

While estimates of fatalities vary, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimates that around 150,000 people have been killed in the fighting.

Meanwhile, around 12 million people, nearly a quarter of the population, have been displaced within Sudan or have fled the country.
