The OCHA-managed Pooled Funds at the forefront of the humanitarian response to the Sudan Crisis (as of November 2024)

The OCHA-managed Pooled Funds have supported a fast and sustained humanitarian response to the humanitarian crisis in Sudan that has unfolded since fighting erupted between the Sudan Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces on 15 April 2023. The conflict has aggravated an already dire humanitarian crisis, causing the displacement of an estimated 8.4 million people in Sudan, forcing 3.2 million people to seek refuge in neighbouring countries, and leaving over half of the population facing crisis levels of food insecurity. Through allocations totalling some $382.7 million, the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) and the Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF) have ensured life-saving aid for over 7.7 million people across Sudan.
