April 15 marks the first anniversary of the civil war in Sudan, a bloody power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces, or SAF, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF. According to the United Nations, as of January 21, 13,000 to 15,000 people had been killed and another 33,000 were injured.

“Some 18 million Sudanese people face acute food insecurity. Children are starving, wasting, and dying. Far from their homes and their communities, millions of refugees are praying in over-crowded camps. Clean water is sparse; measles, cholera, and other preventable diseases have spread.
