The new pledges, while significant, still fall short of the estimated €2.7 billion the UN says is required for its Sudan response plan this year alone, highlighting the persistent gap between needs and resources. The conflict's human toll is staggering. Beyond the direct violence, the war has triggered a massive displacement crisis, with over 8.5 million people forced to flee their homes—making it the largest internal displacement situation in the world. Neighboring countries, particularly Chad and South Sudan, are hosting over 1.8 million refugees, placing immense strain on their own fragile resources. The collapse of Sudan's health system has led to outbreaks of preventable diseases, while access...
