Sudan War Remains Main Humanitarian Crisis, Warns HRW
The Sudanese war has been marked by mass killings, famine, and the deliberate blocking of aid by rival forces and is the world's worst humanitarian crisis, Human Rights Watch said. Fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has devastated cities, driven millions from their homes, and left vast areas facing hunger since April 2023.
The UN World Food Programme reported that 24.6 million people are suffering acute hunger, with 2 million facing famine or the risk of famine. More than 11.8 million people have been displaced, including 7.4 million inside Sudan and 4.2 million who have fled to neighbouring countries.
Aid convoys and medical facilities were attacked, and humanitarian workers were harassed or detained as both sides blocked relief efforts. UN officials warned that famine, atrocities and displacement had continued for over 1,000 days and called for urgent action, including progress toward a humanitarian truce before Ramadan.
