Due to the current crisis and soaring needs, the 2023 Sudan Humanitarian Response Plan has been revised with the aim to give urgent assistance to those affected by the fighting. 18.1 million people are now in need of humanitarian assistance, for which $2.56 billion, is needed, an increase of $800 million from just a few months ago. The health cluster needs $178.6 million to reach 7.6 million out of the 11 million in need of life saving humanitarian health services.
