"8 Million Displaced: Sudan's War Sparks World's Largest Internal Displacement Crisis"

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.

RSF Paramilitary Seizes Wad Madani, Sudan's Second City, as 300,000 Flee in Humanitarian Crisis

Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have seized control of Wad Madani, the country's second city, after intense fighting. The RSF's advance led to looting and arrests based on ethnicity, causing thousands to flee. Aid organizations suspended their work, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian crisis in Sudan. The war between the regular army and the RSF has resulted in over 10,000 deaths and forced six million people to flee their homes. The RSF has gradually taken control of major cities, while regional efforts to stop the conflict have failed.

Sudan's Conflict Sparks Humanitarian Crisis and Refugee Concerns

Violence between Sudan's army and paramilitary forces has left 185 people dead and 1,800 injured, with homes, hospitals, and power stations being targeted. Humanitarian organizations fear that the situation could trigger a refugee crisis in a country already hosting refugees and internally displaced people. While the International Rescue Committee does not anticipate a movement of people outside Sudan, other organizations are on standby. The conflict is currently localized in Khartoum and Darfur, and the IRC expects to see internal displacement from those two states to safer states. The UNHCR has not yet received reports of refugees moving to neighboring countries.
