Sudan: UN Warns of Worsening Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan As Displacement, Hunger and Disease Escalate
- In April 2023, intense fighting broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and forcing over 12 million people to leave their homes.
- This conflict, combined with severe droughts and floods, has caused unprecedented humanitarian needs amid fragile infrastructure and famine in parts of Sudan.
- In El Fasher, capital of North Darfur, nearly 780,000 people have fled since April 2023 amid acute malnutrition, cholera outbreaks, and destroyed water infrastructure.
- UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric warned of “extreme shortages” of food and water in El Fasher, noted over 32,000 cholera cases, and stressed that delays in aid “every day costs lives.”
- The ongoing crisis threatens millions of lives as humanitarian funding remains only 21% of the $4.2 billion response plan, while aid access is urgently needed to prevent further loss.
