SUDAN. Al Junaynah, West Darfur. July 29, 2025. Hawa Al Muhajer, 27, lies in recovery after losing her leg when she was caught in crossfire during clashes between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). With hospitals in Al Junaynah operating under extreme strain and shortages of medical supplies, civilians like Hawa face long and uncertain paths to recovery in a war that has already displaced millions and left countless wounded across Sudan.

Overview

  • Washington said the drive secured $1.5 billion in new pledges, led by $500 million from the UAE and $200 million from the United States for the UN-run Sudan Humanitarian Fund.
  • U.S. adviser Massad Boulos said a comprehensive plan has Quad backing, with a humanitarian truce targeted before Ramadan and a pathway to present the text to the UN Security Council.
  • UN relief chief Tom Fletcher set an early‑Ramadan benchmark for visible progress on access and highlighted a 2026 response plan needing roughly $2.9 billion.
  • Fighting continues despite diplomacy, with the army reporting gains in South Kordofan after breaking sieges of Kadugli and Dilling and an RSF drone strike in Kadugli killing 15, including children.
  • Humanitarian reporting details mass displacement and acute hunger, ICC officials accuse the RSF of crimes in el‑Fasher, and analysts express mixed views on the feasibility of the new plan.
