Sudan's ongoing conflict sparks humanitarian crisis and refugee exodus.

A seven-day cease-fire in Sudan has failed as fighting continues between the regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The RSF accused the army of breaking the terms of the cease-fire, while the army denied these claims and said RSF fighters had launched an attack on soldiers. The UN refugee agency UNHCR expects 860,000 refugees to flee from Sudan, with an estimated $445 million needed to support them over the next six months. The United Nations has urged warring factions in Sudan to open a humanitarian corridor for aid to be transported, after reports that food supplies were looted in parts of the country.
