Summary

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reports that over four million people have fled Sudan since its civil war began in 2023, marking a devastating milestone in what is the world's most severe displacement crisis. The conflict has displaced millions more within Sudan and internally, with dire conditions in countries like Chad where funding for shelters remains severely lacking. Meanwhile, violence continues to rise in regions such as Darfur, where aid convoys face growing threats, raising concerns about the future of global stability.
