Sudan in Crisis: The World's Worst Humanitarian Disaster

The civil war in Sudan has created the world's largest displacement crisis. International officials now call the country the "epicentre of human suffering." The conflict began after Sudan's old government fell. A planned move to democracy failed. This sparked a violent fight for power between two rival military leaders. The war has become a zero-sum struggle. Neither side shows interest in a peaceful solution. Civilians are caught in the middle, paying the heaviest price. Millions of people have been forced from their homes. The United Nations warns that nearly 25 million Sudanese need aid. Disease and hunger are widespread. The fighting continues to block most humanitarian help. This leaves the country facing a catastrophic man-made famine.
