More than 10 million people have been displaced within conflict-ridden Sudan, based on the recent data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

Since the onset of war in April 2023 between the Sudanese military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, 7.26 million individuals have been forced to abandon their homes, adding to the 2.83 million people previously displaced by earlier conflicts, the IOM reported on Thursday.

The United Nations has consistently highlighted that Sudan is undergoing the world's worst displacement crisis, with the conflict persisting and the threat of famine looming over the nation.

Over 25 percent of Sudan's 48 million residents have now been displaced, with over two million crossing into neighboring countries.

A significant portion, approximately 3.7 million people, have fled from the capital, Khartoum, alone.

In just over a year, the ongoing conflict has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

The total number of fatalities remains uncertain, with some estimates suggesting as many as 150,000 deaths, according to US Special Envoy for Sudan Tom Perriello.

Millions more could face death as the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate, according to aid organizations and experts.

Within Sudan, the IOM warns that 70 percent of those displaced are currently trying to survive in locations that are at risk of famine.

The UN reports that 18 million people in Sudan are facing acute hunger, with 3.6 million children suffering from severe malnutrition.

The IOM adds that 55 percent of Sudan's displaced population are children under 18, and about a quarter are under five years old.

Aid organizations point out that a lack of comprehensive data has hindered an official famine declaration, while the UN accuses both warring sides of "systematic obstructions and intentional denials" of humanitarian access.

Both parties in the conflict have been accused of committing war crimes, including deliberate attacks on civilians, indiscriminate shelling of residential areas, and obstructing humanitarian aid.

Reports of widespread sexual violence have also emerged, with these acts being classified as crimes against humanity by the UN.
