Thousands of families flee fighting in Sudan's North Kordofan state

Fighting in Sudan's North Kordofan state has forced thousands of families to flee their homes. Mothers and children are facing severe shortages of food and safety.

Ongoing fighting in Sudan's North Kordofan state is forcing thousands of families to abandon their homes in search of safety, deepening the humanitarian crisis in the region.

Mothers and children among the most vulnerable

Mothers and their children are reported to be in particularly dire circumstances, lacking both adequate food supplies and secure shelter. Many families have been forced to flee quickly, often unable to bring even basic necessities with them.

Kordofan has long been one of the areas hardest hit by Sudan's broader conflict, and continued clashes are making it increasingly difficult to deliver humanitarian aid to those who need it most. The number of displaced people in the region continues to grow, placing additional strain on already limited resources in nearby safer areas.

Sudan's conflict, now in its several years, has produced one of the world's largest displacement crises, and the latest developments in North Kordofan suggest conditions in the region continue to worsen.
