Sudan now even 'closer to catastrophe' due to civil war, says UN | DW News

The UN has warned that Sudan's ongoing civil war is pushing the country 'closer to catastrophe', and that essential services are in danger of breaking down.

More than 12 million people have been forcibly displaced since fighting between the national army and RSF paramilitary forces broke out in 2023. The conflict is currently the world's largest displacement crisis. Around 4-million people have fled to neighboring countries, including Chad, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Egypt. Last week, Sudan's government rebuffed a peace proposal put forward by the US, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.
