Overview

• Recent RSF assaults on Zamzam and Abu Shouk camps have displaced an estimated 400,000–450,000 people, forcing them into remote areas like Tawila and Jebel Marra with limited access to basic necessities.
• Humanitarian operations in North Darfur are critically overstretched, with restricted access to El Fasher and surrounding areas hampering aid delivery and escalating risks of famine and disease outbreaks.
• The UN Security Council has condemned the attacks and called for an immediate ceasefire, urging all parties to respect international humanitarian law and protect civilians and aid workers.
• Intercommunal violence in West Darfur has displaced at least 146 households, many fleeing into Chad, further straining regional stability and humanitarian resources.
• Since the conflict began in April 2023, over 12.4 million people have been displaced across Sudan, with Darfur among the hardest-hit regions in a rapidly worsening crisis.
