Sudan’s dire circumstances
Fighting between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese army has engulfed the country.
The battle that began in April 2023 has resulted in at least 12,260 deaths and over 33,000 injuries, according to UN estimates. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), families including women, children, and entire groups are being forced to leave everything behind as the situation worsens throughout Sudan. According to OCHA, Sudan is experiencing its “worst food insecurity in 20 years.”
Over 7.7 million people have been internally displaced in Sudan since the conflict started in April 2023, according to a report by the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
