💨 Abstract

The International Rescue Committee's 2026 Emergency Watchlist places Sudan at the top for the third consecutive year due to a severe humanitarian crisis caused by a devastating war. The list includes 20 countries, representing 12% of the world's population but 89% of those in need, with 117 million displaced people. The conflicts are often driven by power and profit struggles, with Sudan's war involving atrocities and human rights violations.
