As Sudan marks 500 days of conflict between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), the humanitarian crisis has escalated dramatically, with over 25 million people, more than half the population, facing acute hunger and over 10 million displaced. The ongoing violence has led to catastrophic child malnutrition and grave destruction of cultural heritage, prompting urgent calls from organizations like Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and Islamic Relief for immediate aid and intervention. The war has resulted in the first declaration of famine in seven years in the Zamzam camp, reflecting the dire condition of food scarcity and malnutrition, especially among children. Diplomatic efforts to broker peace have been futile, as the conflicting parties remain entrenched in their positions and unwilling to compromise. The situation is compounded by extreme weather, with heavy rains leading to flooding and further displacing vulnerable populations. Experts warn that without accountability for the perpetrators of violence, long-term peace remains elusive, echoing past genocides that were left unaddressed.
