Sudan's Civil War Escalates, Prompting Mass Displacement and Humanitarian Crisis

More than 1 million people have fled Sudan to neighboring countries since April, as fighting between two warring factions plunges the country into civil war. The conflict has displaced over 3.4 million people within Sudan, with refugees seeking safety in countries such as Egypt, Libya, Chad, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, and Ethiopia. The situation is deteriorating rapidly, with reports of gender-based violence surging by 50% and a healthcare system already strained by insufficient aid and electricity shortages. The UN is calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities and increased international engagement to address the crisis.
