As Sudan marks the third year of a devastating war, the confrontation between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), along with the allied groups of both parties, has evolved into a systemic dismantling of the essentials people need, including healthcare, protection, food, and basic safety.  Sudan is experiencing the world's largest displacement crisis.
