Summary

A nongovernmental organization called Humanity & Inclusion reports that the humanitarian crisis in Sudan is severe, especially for people with disabilities, due to ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and paramilitary forces. Violence, lack of basic services, and the presence of unexploded bombs are major issues. Many people have been forced to leave their homes, and some have returned to areas where fighting has decreased.
