Overview

This is the eighth report summarizing the multi-country health situation and WHO’s response to the regional refugee crisis caused by the conflict in Sudan. More than 12.3 million people have been displaced—the largest number in the world—with over 3.2 million displaced into neighbouring countries, including Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, South Sudan, and the Central African Republic.

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 the needs.

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