Sudan continues to top list of humanitarian crises

(CLO) For two consecutive years, Sudan has topped the list of countries with the worst humanitarian situation in the world compiled by the aid organization International Rescue Committee (IRC).

The war between the army and another armed group in Sudan that began in April 2023 has caused a lot of suffering for the people. At least 61,000 people have been killed, and the number could be higher.

The UN says the conflict has displaced 11 million people and caused the world's biggest hunger crisis. Nearly 25 million people, or half Sudan's population, need aid.

The conflict in Gaza and the dire situation in the West Bank, Myanmar, Syria and South Sudan are the next countries likely to face humanitarian crises by 2025.

Lebanon, Burkina Faso, Haiti, Mali, Somalia, Afghanistan, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Niger, Nigeria, Ukraine and Yemen are also among the countries likely to face a worsening situation in the coming year.

“With millions of people displaced and even more in need of help, it is more important than ever that the world pay attention to this crisis. Don’t turn your back on what is happening in Sudan,” the IRC said in an Instagram post.

IRC chief executive David Wright Miliband said the list was intended as a call to action globally.

The "World Out of Balance" report says more than 305 million people worldwide need humanitarian aid, with the countries on the list accounting for 82% of them.

The crisis in Sudan is the biggest since the report began recording conflicts and wars more than 15 years ago, accounting for 10% of all people in need of aid globally.
