Overview

  • Only 23% of the $4.16 billion humanitarian response plan for Sudan has been funded, forcing UNICEF and partners to scale back lifesaving programs.
  • Severe acute malnutrition and cholera outbreaks are overwhelming scarce health centres in Jebel Aulia and Khartoum State.
  • Rainy-season road closures and year-long sieges in camps such as ZamZam and Al-Fashir have left thousands without access to aid.
  • Armed conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has displaced millions and divided the country into rival zones, complicating humanitarian logistics.
  • UNICEF, OCHA and other UN agencies are urgently calling for additional funding, safe corridors and sustained diplomatic efforts to prevent irreversible harm to a generation of children.
