Sudan’s bloody civil war is worsening a major humanitarian crisis

Aid delivery remains extremely difficult in violence-ridden areas, where clashes continue between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

Sudan is facing what the World Food Program has called “the humanitarian crisis of our time,” as tens of millions struggle through sieges, blockades and aid shortages that have pushed entire cities into famine.

What began as a power struggle between rival generals more than two years ago has since plunged Sudan into a brutal civil war that has killed more than 150,000 people and displaced millions from their homes, with mass killings leaving bloody sand visible from space and ruined infrastructure.
