Sudan is facing a severe humanitarian crisis as ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has displaced approximately 10 million people and claimed the lives of over 15,550 individuals since April last year. The violence has also led to acute food insecurity, with 18 million people, including 3.6 million children, experiencing severe hunger. Several UN agencies and humanitarian organizations have warned that millions are on the brink of famine. The situation is exacerbated by blockades to relief supplies, making it difficult for humanitarian aid to reach those in need. In El Fasher, displaced people are traveling to Tawila amid intensified battles. Military clashes have also erupted again in Khartoum. UNICEF and other partners are on the ground providing life-saving services, but peace and unimpeded humanitarian access are critical to addressing the crisis.
