What is the current scale of Sudan's humanitarian crisis and the UN's response?

The United Nations has made an urgent appeal for $6 billion in aid to address Sudan's devastating humanitarian crisis affecting nearly 26 million people. The joint effort by UN agencies OCHA and UNHCR aims to provide critical assistance to those affected by the civil war that began in April 2023. The conflict has displaced 12 million people, with approximately 3 million having fled the country. Beyond displacement, Sudan faces widespread acute food insecurity, disease outbreaks, and increased sexual violence, with famine conditions confirmed in several regions, highlighting the shocking proportions of this humanitarian emergency.
