Overview
- More than 30 million people need aid in Sudan, including over 9.6 million internally displaced and nearly 15 million children, according to a joint UN statement after field visits.
- In El Fasher, over 260,000 civilians—about half children—have been cut off for more than 16 months, with UNICEF warning that 1.4 million children live in areas of famine or at risk.
- The $4.2 billion 2025 Humanitarian Response Plan is only 25 percent funded, and agencies say they may have to scale back operations despite reaching 13.5 million people this year.
- UN agencies report severe access constraints from insecurity and bureaucracy and call for a cessation of hostilities, protection of civilians, simplified procedures and support for durable solutions.
- A diplomatic grouping of the United States, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt planned talks with the warring parties to press for a three‑month humanitarian truce, according to officials.
