Year of civil war in Sudan ‘a nightmare of hunger and displacement’

What’s happening between Israel, Iran and Hamas may be vexing the international community, but for a full year now another war has been creating what the UN Secretary General today described as a ‘nightmare of hunger and displacement’.

The Sudanese civil war is only a year old today but it has already displaced over 8 million people, sending refugees fleeing to Egypt, South Sudan and Chad.

And half the population of Sudan – some 24 million people – now face famine.
