UN Goodwill Ambassador Kristin Davis meets refugees in South Sudanese

## Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan and South Sudan

Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan and South Sudan

The ongoing conflict in Sudan, which commenced in April 2023, has escalated into a significant humanitarian crisis. Originating from escalating tensions between army and paramilitary leaders, the conflict has spread from the capital, Khartoum, to other regions, resulting in the displacement of approximately 13 million individuals.

This crisis is recognized as the world's largest humanitarian emergency by the United Nations, yet it remains severely underfunded. The conflict has forced countless families to flee, creating a dire need for international aid and support.

In neighboring South Sudan, tensions are also high. There are concerns that political friction between the President and the First Vice President could potentially lead to renewed civil unrest.
