Sudan, surrounded by the Central African Republic, Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Libya and South Sudan, has been confronted with a war which broke out in April 2023 with massive impacts in the country itself, as well as spillover affects to its neighboring countries and beyond. Sudan is by size the third biggest country in Africa, with a diverse population of around 48 million people. Sudan’s children make up half of the total population. Of these, 14 million children are in dire need of humanitarian support, 5 million are forcefully displaced (including 4 million internally displaced, and 1 million seeking refugee across borders), close to 4 million are acute malnourished, 17 million are not in school, and millions exposed to abuse, violence and exploitation.
