ongoing clashes in Khartoum and across other locations between the Sudanese
Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since the 15th of April
2023, have resulted in severe consequences for civilians, with the conflict
spreading to other regions such as Darfur and North Kordofan. As per the OCHA
flash update on the 21st of May 2023, more than 1 million people have been
displaced since the conflict's onset, seeking safety within and outside the
country. The crisis presents significant operational access, security,
logistics, and banking challenges, further complicating the situation. The
operational landscape is expected to remain highly unpredictable, with limited
and temporary access opportunities that may be restricted to specific areas.lt/spangtlt/pgt
