The ongoing civil war in Sudan, now in its second year, has led to severe humanitarian crises, including widespread famine and displacement. Over 8.2 million people have been displaced due to the conflict, and in the worst-hit areas, including the capital, residents are resorting to eating leaves for survival. Both sides in the conflict are obstructing humanitarian assistance. The United Nations and African Union officials have described the situation as a crisis of epic proportions, urging the global community to rethink its support strategy for Sudan. The UN has also highlighted the role of foreign weapons fueling the conflict, although specific countries supplying these arms have not been named. Efforts are being intensified to maintain critical infrastructure and provide essential services like healthcare and sanitation, with UNDP's support. UNDPPA chief @DicarloRosemary emphasized the need to support the Sudanese people's aspirations for a peaceful future.
