Sudan faces severe internal displacement crisis as conflict displaces over 14 million people

Sudan is experiencing the world's worst internal displacement crisis, with over 14 million people forced from their homes due to ongoing conflict. The war, which began on April 15, 2023, has resulted in at least 24,000 reported deaths. Since the conflict started, there have been nearly 9,000 recorded attacks, primarily concentrated in Khartoum and surrounding regions. The Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have been engaged in intense fighting, with the army recently launching major offensives to regain control. The UN reports that about 30% of Sudan's population is displaced, with 11 million people internally displaced and over 3 million fleeing to neighboring countries. Despite efforts for a ceasefire, violence continues, leaving millions in need of assistance.
