The ongoing humanitarian crisis spilling over Sudan’s borders is one of the largest in modern history—possibly the world’s largest refugee crisis since 1947, when India’s partition left over 15 million displaced. However, despite the harrowing statistics, stories, and images coming out of Sudan, members of the international community, like the European Union and United States, have largely been standing by, unwilling to support the newly displaced in any meaningful way and denying them the same protections given to displaced people from places like Ukraine.

After more than 18 months of conflict in Sudan, a peaceful resolution seems further away than ever. With hundreds of deaths in just a few days in Gezira state at the hands of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), close to 26 million people suffering from acute hunger, and 10 million displaced, the grim reality is that even if a cease-fire came tomorrow, the long-term effects will linger for generations to come.
