TL;DR Summary

Sudan is now home to the world's largest internal displacement crisis, with 10.7 million people uprooted, 9 million of whom are internally displaced due to conflict since April 2023. The situation is dire, with severe hunger affecting 20.3 million people, over 70% of hospitals in conflict areas non-functional, and 19 million children out of school. Both warring parties, the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, have shown disregard for civilian lives and hampered aid delivery. The international response has been inadequate, with the humanitarian effort severely underfunded. Urgent action is needed to prioritize civilian protection, hold warring parties accountable, and provide necessary funding for humanitarian operations.
