Sudanese refugees in the Corsii refugees camp in the Central African Republic. Sudan: “The most destructive humanitarian and migration crisis in the world” The world and security civil war in Sudan have been going on for two years – the country’s population has no time, millions of people were forced to leave their homes and live in conditions of instability and uncertainty. On Monday, 4.2 billion dollars were requested at the UN to support humanitarian operations in the country. The UN news service explains why it is necessary to help the Sudanese. war: collisions in Hartum put an end to the peaceful process By the end of 2022, there were hopes that the peace process under the auspices of the UN would finally lead to the creation of a civil administration in Sudan after a period of political shocks. This period included the overthrow of the dictator of Omar al-Bashir as a result of a military coup and subsequent cruel suppression of protests in support of civilian rule. ~ 60 > ~ 60 > “The final political agreement should make the way to create a democratic state” , – said in December 2022 the former special representative of the UN in Sudan Folker Pertes. However, he warned that there were “controversial issues”, in particular regarding the unification of the Sudanese armed forces and rapid response forces-two military groups that previously united to overthrow al-Bashira. ~ 60 >The tension between them increased at the beginning of 2023, accompanied by periodic clashes. However, a full -scale civil war began after an attack by a quick response forces to the capital of Hartum on April 15. The battles quickly spread to other regions, forcing the UN to evacuate from Hartum and move its operations to a relatively stable port sodan on the Red Sea. ~ 60 >~ 60 > UN decisively condemned the ongoing battles, as a result of which The civilian population suffered, and the Secretary General Antoniu Gutherrish called the parties to the urgent dialogue. His personal messenger in Sudan, Ramtan Lamamra, continues to maintain peaceful efforts in cooperation with regional organizations, including the African Union. ~ 60 > Humanitarian Crisis: more than 30 million need to help The war turned into a disaster for the civilian population of Sudan, and the scale of the disaster is amazing. About 30.4 million people – more than two -thirds of the country’s population – need humanitarian assistance, including medical support and food assistance. The economic collapse caused a sharp increase in food prices, fuel and other essential goods, making them inaccessible to most families. ~ 60 > problem of acute hunger is rapidly aggravated. More than half of the population suffers from an extreme lack of food, and in five districts – in North Darfur and the Eastern Nubian mountains – signs of hunger are officially recorded. It is expected that by May 2025, hunger will spread to five more regions. “The situation is critical, since the consequences of food lack are already felt in the southern cordopan, where families are barely surviving, and the level of malnutrition is growing rapidly,” – & nbsp; I warned the Clementine Nkweta-Salas, the UN humanitarian coordinator in Sudan. ~ 60 > humanitarian aid is seriously difficult due to lack of security: the delivery of goods is complicated, and humanitarian workers are fatal hazard. Nevertheless, the UN and its partners continue to support the population: the World Food Program (VPP) rescues thousands of lives daily, and the food and agricultural organization (FAO) distributed seeds to the half -million households. In 2024, 15.6 million people received help from the UN in one form or another. The country’s health system is practically destroyed. Medical institutions are attacked, many medical workers were forced to escape. Despite this, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF continue to maintain vaccination against cholera and malaria, and also deploy mobile medical brigades. Sudanese refugees are waiting for money from the UN runway in South Sudan. mass movement: the number of refugees is comparable to the population of the Switzerland Millions of people were forced to leave their homes and look for shelters inside Sudan or beyond, which destabilizes the entire region. The number of refugees exceeded three million people, and about nine million became internally displaced faces. The total number of displaced Sudanists exceeds the population of Switzerland. due to the constantly changing front line, the mass movements of the population continue, which complicates the provision of assistance. The UN Directorate for Refugees (UVKB) called the situation in Sudan “the largest and most fast -growing crisis of movement in the world”. 60 > refugees and displaced faces are faced with a lack of food limited to natural resources and medical services. In camps for refugees and forced immigrants, flashes of cholera and measles occur. The neighboring countries taking refugees themselves suffer from economic and social problems, many of them are one of the poorest in the world. The UN and its partners provide assistance to the hosts to provide worthy conditions for people who are saved from the war. violence: women and children are in a special danger from the beginning of the conflict, more than 18,800 dead peaceful residents have been registered. In February 2025, 275 people were killed in one week, which was three times more than a week earlier. ~ 60 > civilian population is subjected to artillery shelling, air raids and attacks of drones, the most affected regions – the most affected regions – Southern Cordofan and Blue Nile. Humanitarian workers are also victims of attacks and threats. ~ 60 > UN mission to establish the facts documented numerous human rights violations and called for investigation and prosecution of guilty ones. Women and girls are especially vulnerable to violence: cases of rape, forced marriages and abductions are recorded. According to the deputy head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian issues (UKGV) Edmore Tondhlana, adolescents are also in danger: “The boys cannot move freely between the lines of the front – they are suspected of espionage.” Many children are forcibly recruited to armed groups. financing: billions of dollars are required ~ 60 > lack of funding significantly limits the UN capabilities in providing assistance. On Monday, UKGV and UVKB submitted their financing requests. The total humanitarian needs for Sudan are estimated at the record 4.2 billion dollars, and another 1.8 billion dollars is required to support refugees in neighboring countries. 62 ~~ 60 > this amount is huge, but in Calculation on a person barely covers basic needs. “We are trying to help 21 million people. This is only about 200 dollars per person per year, or about 50 cents per day, ”Tondhlan emphasized. 62 ~
