Entering lean season June-September with famine confirmed in Al Fasher and Kadugli; risk in 20 additional areas. 33.7M require assistance (globally highest). 19.5M acutely food insecure. 825,000 children under 5 expected severe acute malnutrition. 2026 plan only 20% funded as of April.

Floor designation
·Designated ·Methodology v1.2Composite score resolves at zero — methodology disclosure
Floor designation reflects ongoing systemic harm pattern: SAF-RSF civil war producing the world's largest displacement crisis, IPC-classified famine conditions, ethnic-cleansing patterns in Darfur, total collapse of state capacity to recognize or respond to civilian suffering, and sustained obstruction of humanitarian access by both belligerent parties. Composite was already at zero; this entry formalizes the methodology basis for that floor.
Primary drivers
Documented evidence pattern(2026-04-15 to 2026-04-29)
- IPC famine classification across multiple regions (2024-2025), confirmed by UN agencies.
- World's largest internal displacement crisis (>10 million displaced as of 2025).
- UN expert panel findings of ethnic cleansing in El Geneina and broader Darfur.
- ICC active investigation into atrocity crimes; multiple sealed warrants reportedly issued.
- Total collapse of judicial and administrative state capacity in conflict zones.
- Documented obstruction of humanitarian convoys by both SAF and RSF forces.
Compassion framework
8 dimensions, scored 0–5
Each dimension rolls up five subdimensions with five-level behavioral anchors. See the methodology for anchor definitions and weighting.
Awareness
Does this entity reliably detect when others are in pain or need — before they name it?
Empathy
Does this entity genuinely connect with the inner experience of those it serves?
Action
Does compassionate understanding translate into real, proportional, effective help?
Equity
Is care distributed fairly — especially toward those with greatest need and least power?
Boundaries
Is helping sustainable, ethical, and autonomy-preserving — not dependency-creating?
Accountability
Does this entity own its failures, correct course, and make genuine repair?
Systemic Thinking
Does compassion extend to root causes and structural change — not only symptom relief?
Integrity
Is compassion genuine, consistent, and non-performative — especially when it costs something?
