Sudanese civilians suffer as aid operations struggle amidst ongoing conflict.

Fighting between the army and paramilitary forces in Sudan has forced nearly 100 aid organizations to halt their operations, leaving 16 million people reliant on aid without access to basic necessities such as food, healthcare, and water. Hospitals and medical facilities have been forced to close, and foreign governments and international organizations are evacuating their staff and citizens. The situation has worsened the suffering of the already vulnerable population, including four million refugees and internally displaced people. Local organizations and civil society groups are stepping in to help, but the lack of humanitarian access is causing a greater loss of life.
