A senior United Nations official has urged the global community to focus on what he described as 'the forgotten crisis' in Sudan. The country has been embroiled in a devastating war for over a year and a half, pushing it to the brink of famine.
The conflict, which erupted in April 2023 between the military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has resulted in more than 14 million people being displaced from their homes, making Sudan the site of the world's largest displacement crisis. Additionally, 8.5 million people are facing emergency levels of food insecurity, with 775,000 others experiencing famine-like conditions.
