Sudan is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophes today. Since April 2023, fierce fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has devastated the country, destroying cities, displacing millions, and collapsing essential infrastructure.
Over 12 million people have been internally displaced, and millions more have fled to
neighboring countries. Nearly 30 million Sudanese now depend on humanitarian aid for survival. Access to food, clean water, and medical care is scarce, with famine conditions reported in several regions. Hospitals and aid warehouses have been repeatedly looted or bombed, leaving civilians without lifesaving assistance.
In Darfur and El Fasher, reports of ethnic cleansing, mass graves, and sexual violence have raised grave concerns of war crimes. Children are among the hardest hit—many orphaned, malnourished, or forced to flee alone. Meanwhile, a cholera outbreak is spreading rapidly through overcrowded camps, worsening an already dire situation.
Despite the scale of suffering, humanitarian access remains severely restricted due to ongoing fighting and bureaucratic barriers. The people of Sudan are enduring unimaginable hardship, with aid agencies warning that without immediate and sustained international support, millions could face starvation in the coming months.
