Africa: All of Africa Today - July 14, 2026

The humanitarian crisis in Sudan has dramatically worsened in 2026 and the United Nations is calling it the world's worst humanitarian emergency. At least 59,000 civilians have been killed and 14 million displaced since fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) erupted in 2024. 33.7 million now require urgent humanitarian assistance. Intensified attacks have devastated civilian infrastructure, left hundreds of thousands at risk, and fuelled deadly disease outbreaks, including cholera, which has infected more than 1,300 people and killed at least 114. The UN has also reported a surge in human rights violations, including summary executions, torture, sexual violence and ethnically motivated attacks, while warning that restricted humanitarian access is worsening the crisis.
