The civil war in Sudan, which reignited in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) led by President Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) under Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, has resulted in an estimated 150,000 deaths and displaced over 14 million people. The conflict has escalated with intensified airstrikes and drone attacks, particularly in regions such as South Darfur's Nyala, North Darfur's El-Koma and Al-Fashir, and western Sudan. The RSF has been accused by the United States and human rights groups of committing genocide in the Darfur region. The war has precipitated one of the largest humanitarian crises in modern history, with 64 percent of Sudan's population reliant on aid, 3.6 million children severely malnourished, and 25 million people facing acute hunger.

A cholera outbreak in Khartoum and Omdurman has worsened the crisis, with over 1,540 deaths reported in three days amid a near-collapse of medical services. Paramilitary advances have disrupted humanitarian aid, and reports indicate the use of chemical weapons by SAF forces. The United Nations has expressed alarm over paramilitary attacks on civilians. The conflict has also spilled into South Sudan, where the RSF has launched offensives against opposition groups. Recent airstrikes by SAF have destroyed several RSF armed vehicles in North Darfur, but the fighting continues with heavy casualties, including civilians, as seen in a recent bombing in northern Darfur's Kuma town with up to 89 deaths reported.
