Overview

  • The war between Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has displaced 13 million people, with 8.6 million internally displaced and nearly 4 million seeking refuge abroad.
  • Recent RSF offensives in Darfur have killed over 300 civilians, including children and aid workers, and displaced 400,000 from Zamzam camp, exacerbating the region's humanitarian collapse.
  • Critical infrastructure remains devastated, with 70% of health facilities in conflict zones non-functional, leaving millions without access to medical care amid famine and disease outbreaks.
  • The international community is meeting in London to push for unrestricted humanitarian aid, civilian protection, and accountability for war crimes committed by both SAF and RSF forces.
  • Funding shortfalls and blocked aid deliveries continue to hinder relief efforts, as famine spreads and millions face acute hunger and systemic human rights abuses.
