The recent conflict in Sudan has displaced over 8 million people and caused a 50% rise in mortality rates in some regions due to violence, preventable diseases, and starvation. Targeted attacks on healthcare facilities have left millions without care, worsening food insecurity, intensifying disease outbreaks in addition to widespread gender-based violence as a weapon of war. Join our webinar for an in-depth discussion with a panel of leaders responding to the crisis and looking at the geopolitical aspects of leveraging the UN legal instruments.
