  • 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.
