Sudan is currently facing a severe humanitarian crisis as it enters the second year of a devastating civil war. The conflict has resulted in widespread famine, with nearly five million people close to starvation and 25 million in need of aid. The war has displaced 8.5 million people, and a potential famine outbreak could lead to the deaths of between 500,000 to one million individuals. In some regions, such as the Al Lait refugee camp, people have resorted to eating soil and leaves to survive. The international community has been criticized for its lack of response, and there are calls for an immediate ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access. The RSF and SAF are key actors in the conflict, with the RSF still positioned to attack in areas like El Fasher despite UNSC pressure. Nearly 230,000 malnourished children and new mothers are facing imminent death.

For Lina Mohammed Hassan and her family in war-torn Sudan, starvation set in slowly.

Parts of Sudan are on the brink of famine – a brewing crisis that is man-made. Hunger, not just fighting, is now driving displacement as people leave home in search of food. Some are so desperate they’ve resorted to eating tree leaves https://t.co/OcOzcki1Nd https://t.co/qd8LnLFPcn
At the Al Lait refugee camp in Sudan, people are starving. Garang Achien Akok watches helplessly as his wife and children dig holes, grab some soil and roll it into a ball.Then they put the soil in their mouths and swallow it with water https://t.co/8uBha6oZHn https://t.co/LzHZFv2N2K
We must speak out for human rights and against the atrocities in Sudan. Over 1 million civilians and refugees are under siege in El Fasher, North Darfur, Sudan. The RSF and SAF must agree to an immediate ceasefire, evacuation corridors, and unrestricted humanitarian access.

I am closely following the escalating violence in El Fasher. Reports of continued attacks on civilians by warring parties are horrific and unacceptable. The RSF and SAF must end this conflict, respect international law, and protect civilians. #KeepEyesonSudan
📢 BREAKING: New @HRL_YaleSPH report shows RSF in outskirts of city and 11 newly identified razed communities, including three inside RSF controlled areas near Millet. As UNSC turns pressure up, RSF forces still positioned to attack people of El Fasher. https://t.co/1JqAwQ9LH0
