In 2023, civil war erupted in Sudan, escalating the crisis in Africa's third-largest nation. Limited international aid, coupled with heavy rains, flooding and disease outbreaks have worsened the humanitarian situation. Conflict-induced displacement continues to rise, with over 10 million internally displaced people (IDPs) across the country.
Famine conditions have been confirmed in an IDP camp in North Darfur, with similar crises likely in other areas. Economic instability has left many without jobs, as businesses are abandoned or destroyed due to vandalism, bombings, and the constant threat of robbery.
Electricity is unstable, medical care is scarce, and clean water is a luxury, especially in flood-affected regions. Most schools have been closed for over a year, further destabilizing communities.
