Khartoum, Sudan – Sudan’s displaced populations have endured “unimaginable suffering and brutal atrocities” during years of conflict and displacement, the United Nations said Tuesday.
In a new report, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) documented widespread human rights violations against displaced people in Sudan, including arbitrary detention, sexual violence, forced labor, and denial of access to basic services.
“The suffering of Sudan’s displaced is a tragedy that has been largely ignored by the international community,” said OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke. “These people have been forced to flee their homes and communities, and they are now living in dire conditions, with little hope for a better future.”
According to the report, more than 2 million people have been displaced in Sudan due to conflict and violence. The majority of these people are women and children, who are particularly vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.
“Displacement has a devastating impact on people’s lives,” said Laerke. “It disrupts their livelihoods, their education, and their access to basic healthcare and services. It also increases their risk of being subjected to violence and abuse.”
The report calls on the Sudanese government and the international community to take urgent action to address the needs of displaced people. This includes providing them with safe shelter, food, water, and healthcare, as well as protecting them from violence and abuse.
“The suffering of Sudan’s displaced cannot continue,” said Laerke. “The international community must act now to help these people rebuild their lives and secure a better future for themselves and their families.”
