Camille Knight recently spoke with Dirk Segaar, the IFRC Special Envoy for Sudan, about the severe humanitarian crisis unfolding in the country. According to Segaar, Sudan’s crisis is among the defining yet least visible crises of the 21st century. He emphasized that the conflict should not be viewed solely through military developments or shifting frontlines. Instead, it reflects a broader societal collapse where war has devastated public services, displaced millions, accelerated disease outbreaks, and caused widespread humanitarian needs that extend far beyond active conflict zones.
Segaar described Sudan not just as a conflict zone but as a nation undergoing a cumulative breakdown of its social, economic, and institutional structures. Currently, approximately thirty-five million Sudanese people require humanitarian assistance amid this crisis.
This assessment highlights the urgent need for comprehensive humanitarian support to address the multifaceted challenges facing Sudan.
