Sudan is widely recognized by international organizations as the largest, most severe humanitarian and displacement disaster on Earth. Out of a population of roughly 50 million, 33.7 million people require urgent humanitarian aid, ~ 65% of the country's population.
More than 21 million people are facing crisis, emergency, or catastrophic levels of hunger. Millions are not able to eat every day. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has officially confirmed famine conditions in parts of North Darfur, including the massive Zamzam camp for internally displaced people. Multiple other regions across Darfur and Kordofan are on the brink of a full-blown starvation catastrophe. An estimated 825,000 children under five are expected to suffer from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM).
The scale of human suffering in UAE’s war on the country, now in its fourth year, according to the IRC accounts for over 10% of the entire world's global humanitarian need.
Hasan Piker is asked by Najeh, an event organizer at Cornell University, if he would be interested in interviewing Sudanese doctors on his broadcast and Hasan said yes. Najeh explained that he went on medical missions to Lebanon, Sudan, the Gaza flotilla and Ukraine, and that Sudan is not being talked about at all, despite the fact that some people have said that Sudan is in a worse state than Gaza with regard to the state of the hospital facilities. 🤍
