News Center- For more than two years, Sudan has been experiencing the world's largest humanitarian crisis due to the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The civil war in the country has killed tens of thousands of civilians and displaced millions.

“I want to flag an update on the horrific humanitarian situation that continues to unfold in Sudan, which remains of grave concern to us.  Our humanitarian colleagues are warning of the worsening humanitarian situation there,” UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said in a press briefing on Thursday.

“The surge in fighting in various areas across Sudan is pushing civilians out of their homes and into shelters.”

According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the heightened insecurity forced nearly 47,000 men, women and children out of Sudan’s West Kordofan State. “Many of these people were already internally displaced and now are forced to be on the move for a second time.”

Sudan’s North Darfur state has also seen significant displacement, with about 1,000 people displaced from Abu Shouk camp and El Fasher town in the past week alone.

“This brings the total number of people displaced from Abu Shouk and El Fasher this month to 6,000. In total, North Darfur State is estimated to be hosting more than 1.7 million displaced human beings.”

“Over the past six weeks, more than 25,000 South Sudanese refugees, mostly women and children, have crossed into White Nile searching for safety.”
