Sudan: Humanitarian Response Dashboard (July 2024)

OVERVIEW

By July 2024, more than 25 million people were facing acute hunger, including some 755,000 on the brink of famine. The situation is especially critical for those trapped in conflict-affected areas, particularly Darfur, Kordofan, Khartoum and Aj Jazirah. The conflict continued to drive displacement with more than 10 million people having fled their homes including more than 7 million since the conflict broke out in April 2023. This includes more than 5 million children – and over 2 million people who have crossed into neighbouring countries. At least two-thirds of Sudan’s 18 states are facing multiple disease outbreaks, including cholera, malaria and measles amid a collapsing public healthcare system. Despite the limited funding and access restrictions, the United Nations and partners (153 entities) reached 8 million people with some form of assistance. By the end of the July, the 2024 Sudan Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP), was still less than 40 per cent funded of the $2.7 billion required. Humanitarian partners continued to call on donors to provide funding and enable them to ramp up famine prevention efforts.
