Mass Displacement and Humanitarian Crisis Unfold as Sudanese Safe Haven Falls and Food Assistance Suspended

Up to 300,000 people have been forced to flee their homes in Sudan's Jazeera province after fighting broke out between the military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a notorious paramilitary group. The RSF took over the provincial capital, Wad Medani, prompting a mass exodus to safer areas. The conflict has disrupted humanitarian efforts, with the World Food Program temporarily halting food assistance in parts of Jazeera. The war in Sudan has already displaced over 7 million people, with more than 1.5 million seeking refuge in neighboring countries. The RSF's takeover has raised fears of atrocities, as the group has been accused of committing human rights abuses in Darfur.
