In April 2023, the war broke out between the Sudanese National Army and the Rapid Support Forces; its impact has been devastating. The UN now considers the country to have the worst humanitarian displacement crisis in the world, with 13 million refugees. Four million of them fled to the neighboring countries, but are still struggling to secure a stable and safe life.

The recently introduced Community-Based Refugee Reception Act represents a great opportunity to save the lives of millions of refugees around the world, especially Sudanese.

Sudanese refugees who managed to escape the war are now facing dire conditions. For instance, in Egypt, they are frequently subjected to mass arrest and forced return to Sudan. In Libya, they are repeatedly enduring racism and violence, and many were sent back to Sudan. The situation is similar in Chad, where 1 million refugees face diseases such as cholera and lack of mental health and psychosocial services, in addition to stable access to food, which has led some to face starvation, according to the UN World Food Program.
