Sudan is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis driven by ongoing conflict, widespread displacement, and severe food insecurity. The power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which escalated into a full-scale conflict in April 2023, has severely impacted the country. The conflict has resulted in a massive displacement of people, with nearly 12 million displaced by June 2024, making it the largest displacement crisis in the world. The humanitarian situation is dire, with approximately 25 million people—over half the population—now in need of aid. The conflict has disrupted healthcare services, leading to a near-collapse of the system, and exacerbated an already critical economic crisis. Hunger is a major concern, with 18 million people facing acute food insecurity, and nearly five million on the brink of famine. The World Food Programme (WFP) is scaling up its efforts to provide food and nutrition assistance to an additional five million people by the end of 2024. However, access to those in need is severely restricted due to ongoing violence, making aid delivery extremely challenging.

Shedding Light on Sudan The ongoing military conflict in Sudan has led to an unprecedented crisis, impacting millions of lives and destabilizing the region. Sudan, a nation rich in culture and history, is now facing challenges that threaten its social fabric and economic stability. The conflict has resulted in widespread displacement, with countless families forced to flee their homes in search of safety. The healthcare system is overwhelmed, and access to essential services is severely limited. International organizations and local NGOs are working tirelessly to provide relief, but the scale of the crisis demands more attention and action from the global community. It is crucial for us to amplify the voices of those affected and advocate for a peaceful resolution. In these challenging times, it is important to remember the resilience and strength of the Sudanese people. Their spirit and determination to overcome adversity are truly inspiring. Regardless of these difficult situations, our Sudanese fellows continue to shine, demonstrating remarkable courage, creativity, and perseverance. Let us stand in solidarity with Sudan, raising awareness and supporting efforts to bring about lasting peace and stability. Together, we can make a difference.

Despite its efforts to establish a stable government, Sudan has been plagued by civil wars and coups. The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) troops erupted on April 15 of this year, resulting in an estimated 5,000 deaths, countless injuries, over 7.1 million displaced people, and widespread property destruction. This ongoing conflict has triggered a humanitarian crisis with devastating consequences for half of the population. The war’s far-reaching impact has plunged the general population into a dire state, exacerbating threats, risks, and vulnerabilities. Sources of livelihood have been cut off, leading to the specter of starvation, while rampant insecurity has forced people to flee for their lives. The economy has been severely shaken, and women, children, and other vulnerable groups, such as persons with disabilities, continue to bear the brunt of the conflict. Women are subjected to sexual and gender-based violence and other inhumane acts. Credible reports indicate that over 10 million children are unable to access essential services for their survival and well-being. #Sudan #StandWithSudan #FreeSudan🇸🇩 Africans Rising

Around 90,000 displaced people who had already fled their homes once lived in this camp in Zalingei in Central Darfur. Back in October and November, when the conflict that’s gripping Sudan reached the camp, these people faced indescribable atrocities. Many of them fled for their lives. Those that remain now have no access to water or basic necessities. There is no food distribution from aid organizations that can help them. Like many communities affected by the year-long conflict in Sudan, the people in Zalingei have no access to advanced health care, and there is no referral system in place. Our emergency teams have worked to rehabilitate the town’s hospital, which is the only one providing advanced health care in the whole of Central Darfur. But the needs are immense.  These people need so much help, and the help just isn’t coming. Right now, it’s incredibly difficult to deliver humanitarian aid in Sudan — but it’s not impossible. #TalkAboutSudan https://lnkd.in/eET3D2pX

The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets like factories, mines, and railroads can be privately owned and controlled. https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 GOOGLE.

🔴 Tragic Toll in Sudan: Around 500 children have succumbed to hunger amidst the chaos ignited by conflict since April. Struggling aid efforts and shuttered nutrition centers leave 31,000 children without vital malnutrition treatment. Escalating tensions between military factions have turned Sudan's urban areas into battlegrounds, compounding the crisis. The dire situation extends to millions grappling with acute food insecurity. Urgent international support is imperative to shield Sudan's vulnerable. #SudanCrisis 💔🇸🇩 https://buff.ly/3Z1AJsB

Thousands of Palestinian children in Gaza are facing a critical threat to their lives due to malnutrition caused by the ongoing conflict. The United Nations has highlighted that approximately 3,000 children in southern Gaza are at risk of perishing before their families' eyes due to the severe lack of food, nutrition supplies, and the destruction of healthcare services. The dire situation is a result of the military offensive in Gaza, disrupting access to crucial healthcare facilities and essential nutritional treatment. A ceasefire is imperative at this moment to ensure the safety of these vulnerable children. Immediate and safe humanitarian access is crucial to provide the necessary aid and support. #Gaza #HumanitarianCrisis #ChildrenInNeed #unicef

Sudan is on the edge of collapse as it marks one year since the outbreak of a devastating civil war. The ongoing conflict has plunged the country into a deepening humanitarian crisis, with millions of people facing severe food shortages and starvation. The situation is aggravated by crumbling infrastructure, economic instability, and essential services. Civilians, especially women and children, bear the brunt of the conflict, enduring unimaginable suffering and displacement. Since the start of the civil war, thousands of homes, schools, hospitals, and other vital civilian structures have been destroyed. The situation in Sudan is dire, with over 8.4 million people, including 2 million children under the age of 5, forced to flee their homes in the wake of the conflict, according to Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Nearly 18 million people face acute food insecurity, 14 million of them children, and over 70 percent of hospitals are no longer functional amid a rise in infectious diseases. Despite these alarming figures, the international response has been woefully inadequate, with only 5% of the 2024 humanitarian response plan for Sudan funded thus far, Islamic Relief said in a statement. As Sudan struggles with the devastating consequences of war, urgent action is needed to avert a complete collapse and address the pressing humanitarian needs of its population. #Sudan #war #humanitarian #africa #globalpoliticsaffaira #aids #news

Sudan’s civilians have suffered over eight months of violent conflict since fighting broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces in April 2023. Heavy fighting that started in Khartoum, quickly spread to Darfur and the Kordofans and has had an impact on every state in the country. The conflict has displaced millions of people to the extent that it’s now the largest displacement and protection crisis in the world. There seems to be no reprieve in sight for the Sudanese. The level and extent of the violence and abuse brings back sad memories from twenty years ago in Darfur. The hope that was previously brought forth in 2019 has dissipated as the humanitarian needs keep growing. Almost 25 million people require assistance in 2024. The severity levels are increasing. Sudan is a place where dreams of a bright future for its children are dissipating. The child protection crisis that is emerging as a result of the present conflict will impact not only today’s generation, but most likely the next. In addition to impediments and funding, attention is a daunting challenge. The world is dealing with a multitude of crises, many of which receive much more attention than the crisis in Sudan, but it is not because of the scale. In that regard, the Sudan crisis has few equals. #sudancrisis #speak4sudan #responsestrategy

~~Millions Denied Basic Right to Health Due to War~~ Millions are tragically denied their fundamental right to health because of war. Warfare destroys economies, healthcare infrastructure, and displaces people, leaving them vulnerable to starvation. The deliberate targeting of food supplies to starve civilians is a horrific tactic used in places like Gaza. Countries like Yemen, Sudan and Ukraine face famine due to war, and delivering aid is even harder in conflict zones. Health leaders must insist on protecting civilians in conflict. The international community needs stronger enforcement to hold those who use hunger as a weapon accountable. Starving civilians is a crime against humanity. Let's recommit to protect the right to health and human dignity for all. #RightToHealth #EndStarvationAsAWeapon #WorldHealthDay
