(MENAFN) Sudan faces the "biggest humanitarian crisis ever recorded" following 20 months of overwhelming war among opposing generals, the International Rescue Committee stated in a report published Wednesday.
"The country accounts for 10 percent of all people in humanitarian need, despite being home to less than 1 percent of global population," the New York-based organization stated in their 2025 Emergency Watchlist.
Since April 2023, a fight among the Sudanese weak military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has murdered tens of thousands of individuals and displaced 12 million others.
Approximately nine million of those people are uprooted within Sudan, in parts with destroyed infrastructure and experiencing the risk of severe hunger.
Through the nation, around 26 million individuals, nearly half the population, are experiencing mass starvation, based on the United Nations.
Starvation has already been announced in the Zamzam displacement camp in the western Darfur area, and the United Nations has noted that Sudan is experiencing the most horrible humanitarian disaster in latest memory.
