Sudan has been afflicted by civil wars and coups in spite of her long struggle to institute a stable government. The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) troops began on 15 April this year. The war has left an estimated 5,000 people dead, dozens wounded, over 7.1 million displaced and destruction of property. 

The ongoing conflict has created a humanitarian catastrophe and has had a devastating impact on half of the population. As the war rages,  the impact of the situation which has been far reaching has left the general population in a disastrous state with greater threats, risks and vulnerabilities such as sources of livelihood cut off leading to starvation threats, high level of insecurity, people fleeing for safety and a shaken economy. Women, children and other vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities continue to bear the brunt with women being subjected to sexual and gender-based violence and other inhumane acts. Credible reports indicate that over 10 million children are unable to receive essential services for survival and well-being.
