Breaking: Sudan’s Humanitarian Nightmare Escalates—Famine, Massampments, and Attacks

Sudan is now facing one of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history. Two years of civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have led to over 150,000 deaths, widespread famine, and displacements on a massive scale. More than 12 million people are internally displaced, while millions have fled to neighboring countries—making it the largest displacement crisis globally .

In regions like North Darfur, famine is confirmed—especially in camps such as Zamzam, Abu Shouk, and Al Salam. In Zamzam camp alone, which shelters nearly half a million people, a brutal attack by the RSF reportedly claimed over 2,000 lives and involved abductions, rape, and terror—far more than early official reports .

Further tragedy unfolded in another camp—Abu Shouk displacement camp—where a RSF assault killed at least 40 people, wounded 19, and left 300,000 at immediate risk of starvation due to blocked humanitarian access .

Malnutrition is widespread: over 25 million people face acute hunger, and nearly 770,000 children under five are projected to suffer from severe acute malnutrition this year alone .
