- More than half a million people were displaced following attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), one of Sudan's two warring parties.
- According to the UN, 20.3 million people in Sudan face severe hunger, more than 70 percent of hospitals in conflict-affected areas aren’t functioning, and 19 million children are out of school.
- Both the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the RSF have been accused of widespread abuses, including indiscriminate bombings, the targeting of activists, and hampering aid delivery.
