OVERVIEW
Road access began to improve with the onset of the dry season in October, enabling humanitarians to scale up the delivery of relief supplies via cross-border and crossline routes. During October, about 2.9 million people received some form of humanitarian assistance. This marks an increase of over half a million people compared to those reached in September, bringing the total number of people reached with some form of assistance from January 2024 to 12.4 million. While this represents about 84 per cent of the 14.7 million people targeted under the 2024 response plan, the numbers of people reached by various clusters continue to vary significantly, largely due to different levels of funding and other factors such as insecurity, limited access, and other challenges.
The food security and livelihoods cluster has reached about 99 per cent of the total 11.4 million people targeted throughout 2024, while the Protection Cluster has reached less than 6 per cent of the targeted population.
By the end of October, the Sudan response plan, seeking $2.7 billion, was 57 per cent funded.
