The ongoing conflict in Sudan has resulted in a humanitarian crisis, with 25 million people at risk of starvation and 10.4 million forcibly displaced since April 2023. The World Food Programme (WFP) is struggling to provide adequate food assistance to refugees in South Sudan, cutting rations due to funding constraints, which could leave many refugees without support. The Malakal Protection of Civilians site continues to shelter those fleeing violence, but many residents express a desire to leave for better livelihoods, hindered by security concerns. The African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights recently held a session addressing the urgent need for humanitarian assistance in Sudan. In South Sudan, the economic crisis is exacerbating the plight of refugees, leading some to consider returning to unsafe conditions in Sudan. Urgent international support is crucial to address the escalating crisis and provide essential services for displaced populations.
