Sudan War Displaces Nearly 13 Million: UN

Khartoum, MINA – The war in Sudan, which erupted on April 15, 2023 has forcibly displaced nearly 13 million people, including over four million who have fled to neighboring countries, according to the United Nations, as cited by Anadolu Agency.

The UN has declared the situation in Sudan the world’s most severe humanitarian crisis, citing rapidly deteriorating conditions in displacement camps and major cities.

More than eight million Sudanese have been internally displaced by the fighting. The conflict has also disrupted education for nearly 12 million children, as reported by Sudan’s National Council for Child Welfare.

In Darfur, the Sudanese Doctors Network accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of ethnically motivated killings, alleging that more than 200 people were massacred in the areas of Amro, Sirba, and Abu Qumra. The RSF has not responded to the accusations.

The RSF currently controls Sudan’s five Darfur states, except parts of North Darfur, while the Sudanese army holds most of the remaining 13 states, including the capital, Khartoum.[]
