Deadly conflict in Sudan has forced nearly 13 million people to flee their homes.
As the violence continues to escalate, people are desperately seeking safety and protection, both inside Sudan and in bordering countries.
Vital infrastructure in parts of the country has collapsed and access to basic services such as safe water, health care and shelter is severely limited. Millions of children are facing acute levels of food insecurity and more than a dozen regions are teetering on the brink of famine. In some areas where aid agencies have struggled to secure access, famine conditions have already been confirmed.
UNHCR emergency teams have been working around the clock with authorities and partners to support new arrivals in countries neighbouring Sudan, including Chad, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, and South Sudan. UNHCR is providing life-saving assistance and relocating newly arrived refugees to existing and new camps away from overcrowded makeshift sites at borders, but global cuts in humanitarian funding are putting these efforts at risk.
More than 750,000 South Sudanese refugees who had been living in Sudan before the conflict have returned to their country. UNHCR is working closely with local authorities to run transit centres near the border and to help returnees who wish to travel onwards to their home areas or relocate to new and existing refugee settlements.
Meanwhile, inside Sudan, UNHCR is assisting both refugees and internally displaced people with shelter, health care, psychosocial support, protection, cash assistance and non-food items, as the security situation allows.
Your support is crucial to help scale up our response and protect families who require life-saving aid. Thank you.
