Key Points:
- Wednesday marked the third anniversary of the conflict between Sudan’s military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which has triggered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.
- Tom Fletcher, UN emergency relief coordinator, criticized the global community for failing Sudan and highlighted atrocities including sieges, food denial, and weaponized sexual violence.
- Despite the ongoing crisis, Sudan’s conflict remains overshadowed by other global wars, while rising fuel and fertilizer prices due to the American-Israeli war on Iran have worsened Sudan’s food insecurity.
- A recent report by the Norwegian Refugee Council and other aid organizations detailed how the violence has systematically destroyed Sudan’s food system, leading to widespread hunger.
