What is happening in Sudan?
The war in Sudan has forced millions of people to flee their homes, creating one of the world’s largest displacement crises. Now the situation has deteriorated rapidly, and those caught up in the middle of the conflict are facing yet another crisis – hunger.
As families fleeing their homes to escape the violence run out of food, water and medicine, the UNCHR reports that, in total, approximately 24.8 million Sudanese (nearly half of the country's population) are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
Kayode Akintola, CAFOD's Head of Region for Africa, and Telley Sadia, Country Representative for Sudan, joined us recently to explain what is happening and how we can help.
