SITUATION OVERVIEW
One year into the conflict in Sudan (April 15, 2023), 17.7 million people face acute food insecurity, with over 2 million seeking refuge in neighboring countries due to escalating inter-communal tensions (Integrated Food Security Phase). Infrastructure destruction hampers aid delivery, while humanitarian organizations face logistical and security hurdles, requiring sustained funding for emergency relief. Women, children, and vulnerable groups urgently need specialized assistance amidst food insecurity and disease outbreaks. Relief International is constantly monitoring the humanitarian needs and ensuring all of our work is relevant and accurate, and the needs for healthcare and nutrition remain paramount. Child malnutrition is prevalent, protection services fall short, and WASH facilities exhibit quality issues disproportionately affecting women. The economic crisis impacts trading and labor, with 70% of women relying on external food support. Financial service access remains limited for 80% of the community. Despite food security challenges, security threats impede humanitarian efforts and assessments.
