"UN Appeals for $4.1bn Aid as Sudan Crisis Sparks 'Epic Suffering'"

The United Nations has appealed for $4.1bn to address the humanitarian needs of civilians in war-torn Sudan and support those who have fled to neighboring countries, as the 10-month conflict has led to one of the world's largest displacement and protection crises. More than 1.5 million people have fled across Sudan's borders, and half of Sudan's population requires humanitarian assistance. The conflict has resulted in widespread food insecurity, lack of healthcare access, and human rights violations, with the World Food Programme reporting an alarming increase in hunger.

"Burkina Faso's Overlooked Displacement Crisis Amid Global Ukraine Focus"

Burkina Faso has been named the world's most neglected displacement crisis by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), with about 2 million people, or a tenth of the population, forced from their homes due to conflict. The NRC report highlights the lack of international attention and funding compared to other crises, such as Ukraine. The conflict in Burkina Faso escalated rapidly in recent years, with militias linked to ISIS and Al Qaeda clashing with the army and vigilante groups. The crisis has received minimal media coverage and low international political engagement, hindering efforts to address the underlying causes of the conflict and provide sufficient humanitarian assistance.
