Key Highlights

Health System Collapse in Darfur: Conflict and displacement have overwhelmed health services and restricted humanitarian access, with Zamzam camp and Al Fasher areas at high risk of famine.

Severe Funding Gap: Early Q2-2025, only 6.4% of the $262.3 million Health Cluster appeal is funded, limiting the scale-up of essential health services in Sudan.

EWARS Mobile Expansion in Darfur: 21 partners have submitted over 2,400 reports, strengthening disease surveillance despite challenges in data consistency and partner engagement.

Alarming Surge in Disease Outbreaks: The collapse of immunization and surveillance services is risking the spread of prone diseases particularly in hard-to-reach areas like Darfur and Kordofan.

Coordinated Humanitarian Response at Risk: Health partners remain engaged through the Subnational Health Cluster Darfur coordination platform and its Technical working groups and taskforces, but funding gaps and insecurity threaten to undo a year of successful coordination efforts.
