Sudan conflict worsens suffering and congestion
Clashes escalate in Sudan, with fighting expanding to unprecedented levels to include new areas within the capital, Khartoum, and spreading to Nile State. Fighting also continues in Darfur and Kordofan. The ongoing battles have led to the siege of major cities such as El Obeid, home to nearly half a million people, including displaced persons fleeing conflict zones, putting them at risk of famine and a humanitarian catastrophe. Military operations have also extended to drone strikes carried out by the Rapid Support Forces targeting strategic areas, resulting in civilian casualties and injuries, while millions suffer from displacement and harsh living conditions. The Rapid Support Forces face increasing defections, while the Sudanese army has strengthened its military capabilities with modern weapons and drones amid ongoing conflict that has left thousands dead and displaced around 13 million people since April 2023—one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.
