News Center- The ongoing war that started between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in 2023 has left half the population of about 50 million facing a hunger crisis and in need of humanitarian aid, the most of any country.

More than 10 million Sudanese, or 20% of the population, have been driven from their homes since the war there began, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said on Tuesday.

More than 2.2 million people have fled to other countries since the war began, while almost 7.8 million sought refuge inside the country, the IOM said in its report on Sudan. “Hunger has replaced violence as the largest driver of migration from Darfur, where they face difficulty delivering aid,” UN experts say.

In recent weeks, Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked towns across Sennar state, which neighbors Gedaref state and where more than 40,000 refugees from Ethiopia are currently hosted, the Human Rights Watch (HRW) on July 10, 2024.
