How Sudan has become the world's 'forgotten war' | DW News

Aid organizations are warning of a hunger catastrophe in Sudan as a result of the conflict there, which they describe as a forgotten war. Much of the world's attention has been elsewhere - on Russia's fighting in Ukraine and the recent war between Israel and Hamas.
In Sudan, out of nearly 25 million people in need of aid, the United Nations has only been able to reach a small fraction, and funding, even for that, is running low.
Sudan's war erupted 8 months ago after a period of tension between military chief General Abdel-Fattah Burhan and General Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, who is commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The fighting has killed more than 12,000 people so far, and displaced over 6 million people. Plus, Sudan's already-struggling economy is on the verge of collapse. The UN's humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan says the situation on the ground is getting worse by the day.
