Sudan Conflict Displaces Over 14 Million, UN Reports Escalating Crisis

The ongoing war has led to severe humanitarian challenges, with widespread hunger, disease, and sexual violence affecting millions.

  • The conflict in Sudan, which began in April 2023, has resulted in the displacement of more than 14 million people, creating this year's largest displacement crisis.
  • Approximately 11 million individuals are internally displaced, while 3.1 million have fled to neighboring countries, with numbers rising rapidly.
  • The United Nations reports widespread sexual violence, particularly by the Rapid Support Forces, with many cases amounting to war crimes.
  • Humanitarian conditions are dire, with 50% of the population lacking basic necessities like food, shelter, and healthcare, leading to famine conditions in North Darfur.
  • The UN warns that over 25 million Sudanese may face acute hunger by year's end, and calls for increased humanitarian aid as only half of the required support has been funded.
