Highlights
▪ The 2025 Sudan Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRP) has been released, outlining the multi-agency response strategy and financial requirements of 111 humanitarian and development partners, including one-third national and local actors. The plan supports host governments in addressing the critical needs of nearly 5 million people, including refugees, returnees, third-country nationals, and host community members across the seven main asylum countries: Central African Republic (CAR), Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, South Sudan, and Uganda. This year’s funding request has increased to USD 1.8 billion. On 17 February in Geneva, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees will jointly launch the Sudan Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) 2025 and the 2025 RRP for the Sudan situation.

▪ The humanitarian situation in Sudan continues to deteriorate as the conflict escalates, particularly in Khartoum, South Kordofan, and North Darfur States. Basic services, including water, health, and electricity, remain overstretched, while inflation and limited access to cash further impact displaced and host communities. The suspension of humanitarian activities in East and South Darfur States, except for essential health and water services, is expected to exacerbate the crisis, as authorities are requiring I/NGOs to register before granting access, leaving thousands without the necessary support. Reports of arbitrary arrests, detentions, and abductions persist across Darfur, with youth, traders, and humanitarian workers among those targeted. Meanwhile, displacement continues, with IDPs arriving in River Nile State and movements toward Sennar,
Singa, and Bahri driven by economic hardship and deteriorating conditions in displacement locations.
▪ In Chad, cash assistance programmes have supported refugees and host communities, with small business grants and farming subsidies provided in Farchana, Bredjing, Treguine, and Dougui
