We take a look at how 16 months of brutal fighting have plunged Sudan into one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent history.
Sudan’s humanitarian crisis is rapidly escalating. With at least 750,000 people on the brink of starvation, NGOs warn that a disaster on a scale not seen in decades is imminent. For the last 16 months, Sudanese civilians have faced indiscriminate attacks, forcing over 10 million people to flee their homes and creating the world’s largest displacement crisis. We explore the situation through the eyes of those most affected, as well as those doing what they can to help from afar.
