• The 2021 Sudan HRP indicates that 13.4 million people will require humanitarian assistance during the year, representing the largest estimated response needs in more than a decade.

• Staple cereal prices were more than six times higher than the five-year average in February, contributing to limited purchasing power and a larger population facing acute food insecurity than in recent years.
