Overview:
This report provides an overview of the total population of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Sudan, including those displaced both before and after the onset of the conflict on 15 April 2023. Compared to Sudan Mobility Update (15), the estimated total of IDPs decreased by 2.4 per cent due to return movements — the first reported decrease in IDPs figure since 15 April 2023.
Key Findings:
- An estimated total of 11,301,340 IDPs were displaced to 10,285 locations, in 185 localities, across all 18 states in Sudan.
- An estimated 8,596,622 individuals were displaced internally within Sudan since 15 April 2023.
- An estimated 396,738 individuals returned to locations of origin from internal displacement.
- Approximately 3,934,086 individuals crossed borders into neighbouring countries since 15 April 2023.
- The top states of origin were Khartoum (31%), South Darfur (18%), and North Darfur (16%).
- The highest proportion of IDPs were hosted in South Darfur (16%), North Darfur (16%), and River Nile (8%) states.
- Over half (53%) of IDPs were reportedly children under the age of 18-years-old.
