Sudan's civil war has entered its third year, resulting in one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. According to the United Nations, over 13 million people have been displaced since the conflict began, including more than 3 million refugees who have fled to neighboring countries. Nearly half of Sudan's population is suffering from severe hunger, with famine declared in at least five regions. The World Food Programme reports that more than 24 million people are experiencing acute food insecurity. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that civilians are bearing the highest price of the ongoing war, with disease outbreaks spreading and the health system collapsing. He emphasized that ignoring the situation in Sudan will have catastrophic consequences. International aid organizations, including UNICEF and Médecins Sans Frontières, are calling for urgent assistance to address the escalating crisis. Diplomatic and aid officials are meeting in London to seek solutions to the conflict and improve humanitarian access. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees urged the international community not to overlook the plight of Sudanese refugees, stating that more funding is urgently needed to save lives.
