This is a good start. But you should know that news is not equal to caring. News is about generating revenue. I am sure that there are thousands of people outside of Sudan who are either concerned or working on how to alleviate the problems there: governments, UN, NGO's, non-profits, etc.

I am sorry that the beautiful people of Sudan are experiencing this conflict. I hope that the better side of humanity will bring it to an end soon.

To be honest, UN organizations have not been of much help recently.

Last week, there was a mass starvation near an Ethiopian refugee camp.[1] The refugees left the campsite due to constant harassment, kidnappings, and murders by Ethiopian militias. The UNHCR's response was to urge the refugees to return to the campsite despite the dangerous situation there, or they will withhold resources, which led to the mass starvation.
