Overview

This is the sixth report summarizing the multi-country health situation and WHO’s response across the regional refugee crisis caused by the conflict in Sudan. More than 11.6 million people have been displaced—the largest number in the world—with over 2.4 million displaced into neighbouring countries, including Chad, South Sudan, Egypt, Libya, Ethiopia, the Central African Republic, and Uganda.

As the Health Cluster Lead Agency, WHO ensures the coordination across partners and the strategic approach of the humanitarian health response. However, the existing funding gap limits the ability to scale up and address needs.

Please note that this multi-country situation report focuses on the health situation and WHO’s regional response in refugee-hosting countries by the conflict in Sudan. The Sudan health situation and WHO’s response will be covered separately in reports issued by the WHO Sudan Country Office.
