As the conflict enters its 10th month, over half of Sudan's population requires urgent aid, with millions facing hunger and displacement.

  • The United Nations has launched a $4.1 billion appeal to aid 14.7 million people in Sudan and 2.7 million refugees in neighboring countries, as the country faces a humanitarian crisis amid a 10-month conflict.
  • Over half of Sudan's population, approximately 25 million people, requires humanitarian assistance and protection due to the ongoing war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces.
  • The conflict has resulted in at least 12,000 deaths, widespread displacement, and a severe food crisis, with nearly 18 million people facing acute hunger.
  • U.N. officials emphasize the urgency of the situation, warning that Sudan's crisis risks being overshadowed by other global conflicts and urging international support for humanitarian efforts.
  • Efforts to facilitate humanitarian access and aid delivery are ongoing, with U.N. officials engaging with Sudan's rival generals to negotiate access and support for the millions in need.
