Report
Sudan remains the world’s largest displacement crisis, with more than 30.4 million people in need of assistance. At least 20.9 million people are targeted to receive assistance, according to the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan published in May.
Civilians—especially women, children and older persons—are at extreme risk as a result of the 500-day siege in El Fasher in October. More than 1.4 million people were displaced when the Rapid Support Forces took over the town and surrounding areas. The ripple effect of this displacement is straining an already fragile region, stretching host communities, overwhelming available services and challenging the limits of humanitarian operations as needs continue to grow.
Violence is widespread. Women and girls face extreme protection risks, and conditions in displacement sites are rapidly worsening, with hundreds of thousands living in overcrowded living conditions.
Outbreaks of disease continue to burden an already fractured healthcare system. To date, 123,442 cases of cholera have been reported, with 3,499 deaths, in an outbreak that has spread to 152 localities in all 18 states.
Dengue fever also continues to increase, affecting 71 localities in 14 states, with 50,512 cases and 124 deaths reported.
