According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), this represents nearly 30% of Sudan's entire population 🚨.

IOM Director-General Amy Pope revealed that 11 million people are internally displaced—a jump of 200,000 since September—while 3.1 million have crossed borders into neighboring countries. 'The suffering is growing by the day,' Pope stated, emphasizing that 25 million people now require urgent assistance.

The conflict between Sudan's Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which erupted in April 2023, has claimed over 24,850 lives according to recent data. Pope issued a desperate plea: 'The guns in Sudan must fall silent.' 🔇
As winter approaches, aid organizations warn of catastrophic conditions for displaced families lacking shelter, food, and medical care. With peace talks stalled, Sudan's youth face an increasingly uncertain future.
