London, UK – As the second anniversary of Sudan’s devastating civil war approaches, international calls for an end to the violence are growing louder. The conflict, between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has intensified in recent days, particularly in Darfur, resulting in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.

The UN and numerous human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, are urging the international community to prioritize civilian protection and unhindered access for aid workers. The conflict has displaced nearly 13 million people, according to the UNHCR, and triggered widespread famine.

Recent RSF attacks, including the seizure of the Zamzam camp for displaced people near el-Fasher, have resulted in dozens of deaths, including children and aid workers. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warns that fighting near el-Fasher is blocking crucial aid deliveries, leaving thousands trapped and without assistance.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres strongly condemned the attacks, emphasizing that attacks against civilians are strictly prohibited under international humanitarian law. He demanded accountability for the perpetrators and stressed the urgent need for safe access to affected areas, including the Zamzam camp. Egypt and Qatar also voiced grave concern and called for an immediate cessation of hostilities.

Despite these appeals, violence continues. Reports indicate shelling of displacement camps near el-Fasher. The conflict’s impact on children is particularly devastating, with widespread trauma, gender-based violence, and disruption to education, according to humanitarian experts.

With a meeting of international representatives scheduled for Tuesday in London to address the crisis, pressure is mounting on world leaders to take decisive action to protect civilians and deliver essential aid to millions in desperate need. The situation is described as the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.
