(AP Photo, file)CAIRO (AP) — More than two years have passed since Sudan plunged into a civil war that has caused what aid organizations have described as one of the world’s worst displacement and hunger crises.
The U.N.’s International Organization for Migration says as many as 12 million people have been forcibly displaced during the war, and more than 4 million sought refuge in neighboring countries.
The conflict between the Sudanese military and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group continues largely in the vast Darfur and Kordofan regions. Some of the deadliest clashes have occurred in the capital, Khartoum, and surrounding areas, where the army has said it has regained control.
The war erupted in April 2023 in Khartoum before spreading across the country. Both sides have been accused of committing atrocities like ethnic cleansing, extrajudicial killings and sexual violence against civilians, including children. Meanwhile, many people across Sudan have been pushed to the brink of famine.
Here’s a look at the war by the numbers sourced from the United Nations, humanitarian organizations, health officials and human rights groups.
