Prolonged conflict deepens humanitarian crisis in Sudan

A Sudanese woman in Ourang on the outskirts of Adre, Chad, on July 25, 2023. She fled the conflict in el-Geneina in Sudan's Darfur region and says the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed her relatives.

What you need to know:

  • Despite the staggering human toll, the conflict in Sudan has not attracted the same level of global attention as other crises, such as those in Ukraine and Gaza.
  • This relative neglect has resulted in a lack of effective political mediation and inadequate humanitarian assistance, putting the country at risk of sliding deeper into catastrophe.
