Sudan’s Worsening Situation Leaves 2 Out of Every 3 People in Need of Aid

Sudan's humanitarian crisis has reached catastrophic levels, with two-thirds of the population requiring urgent aid as a civil war between the military and Rapid Support Forces enters its third year. The conflict, which began in 2023 when former allies clashed during what was meant to be a democratic transition, has killed at least 40,000 people and displaced 12 million, though actual casualties may be far higher. Aid organizations report severely restricted access to affected populations, with the Darfur and Kordofan regions experiencing particular strain from new waves of displaced people arriving at overcrowded camps.
