"Sudan's Year of Conflict: Devastation, Starvation, and Alleged Crimes Against Humanity"
Satellite imagery reveals the devastating impact of the year-long conflict in Sudan, with widespread destruction of infrastructure, including the Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Company Tower and the University of Khartoum. The conflict has led to the displacement of over 8 million people, causing one of the worst humanitarian disasters in recent memory. The disruption of agricultural activities has severely affected food security, with a "catastrophic" risk of hunger in the coming months. The conflict has also spilled over into neighboring Chad, exacerbating food insecurity in the region. The U.S. State Department has called for both warring parties to uphold commitments to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian relief.

Tigray's Fragile Peace: A Year of Dashed Hopes and Limited Aid
One year after the peace deal in Ethiopia's war-torn Tigray region, the legacy of the two-year conflict is still evident, with infrastructure in ruins, displaced populations, and a worsening humanitarian situation. Many Tigrayans are struggling to rebuild their lives, facing challenges such as lost homes, livelihoods, and family members. The presence of Eritrean troops and the unresolved issue of disputed territory add to the uncertainty. Access to services has improved in some areas, but the majority of Tigray remains dependent on aid, exacerbating the suffering.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens in Colombia, Says Red Cross
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has reported a six-year high in civilians injured by explosives in Colombia, as violence between armed groups continues to displace and maim civilians. While violence between the Colombian military and armed groups has dropped, more than 180,000 civilians were displaced in 2022 as non-state organisations wrestle for control of territory and resources. Caught in the middle are civilians who suffer from the presence of landmines, the threat of violence from armed groups and attacks on healthcare workers. Colombia has had to contend with an ongoing internal conflict between government forces, right-wing paramilitary groups aligned with the state, drug traffickers, criminal organisations and left-wing rebel groups.
