The ongoing conflict in Sudan between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has left over 14,600 people killed nationwide and over 8 million people displaced including nearly 2 million of them seeking refuge in neighbouring countries.
The people of Sudan feel forgotten amidst the spiralling violence across the country, where parties to the conflict are causing untold death and destruction.
Caught in the middle of fighting, they have no food, water, or access to medical services, and with limited internet, civilians have no access to information about safe passage or where to find medicine.
The warring parties have fought their war for a year with little regard for human rights and international humanitarian law.
People are being killed inside their homes, or while desperately searching for food, water, and medicine. They are caught in crossfire while fleeing and shot deliberately in targeted attacks. Women and girls, some as young as 12, have been raped and subjected to other forms of sexual violence by members of the warring sides.
Nowhere is safe.
The response from international community remains woefully inadequate.
Sign the petition to demand the Australian Government takes action to protect civilians in Sudan.
