Attachments

From 15 April 2023, armed clashes erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in multiple cities across Sudan, including Khartoum, Al Fasher, Kebkabiya, Merowe, Nyala, Zalingi, Ag Geneina, and El Obeid. DTM Sudan has been receiving reports of widespread displacement across different states in Sudan due to the ongoing security situation.

  • DTM Sudan estimates that, since the conflict began on 15 April 2023, approximately 2,231,523 individuals (447,031 households) have been displaced internally as a result of the conflict. Notably, the current estimate for displacement in the previous 80 days is greater than that of recorded displacement during the previous four years.
  • Furthermore, an estimated additional 697,151 individuals have crossed into neighbouring countries.

Due to the ongoing nature of the fighting, many areas reportedly remain inaccessible to field teams. DTM estimates of displacement are based on preliminary reports from field teams and should be taken as estimations only. Additional reports of displacement are likely to emerge as the situation becomes clearer.

The IDP caseload has sought shelter in locations across all of Sudan's 18 states. IDPs have been originally displaced from eight states, including Khartoum, West Darfur, South Darfur, North Darfur, Central Darfur, North Kordofan, South Kordofan, and Aj Jazirah.
