UNHCR and partners appeal for $633.7 million to support refugees in Sudan
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, together with 33 international and national partners, launched the 2025 Sudan Country Refugee Response Plan (CRRP), appealing for US$ 633.7 million to assist nearly 892,000 refugees and asylum-seekers, alongside over 165,000 host community members in Sudan.
Amid Sudan’s escalating humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by the conflict that erupted in April 2023, the 2025 CRRP provides a coordinated strategy to meet urgent needs across multiple sectors like protection, education, health, nutrition, food security, livelihoods, WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene), energy, environment, and shelter. The plan underscores the need for continued international support and collaboration to sustain life-saving assistance and build resilience for both forcibly displaced people and host communities.
“Sudan is facing one of the world's most challenging displacement crises. The needs are enormous, and the time to act is now,” said Kristine Hambrouck, UNHCR Representative in Sudan. “We urge the international community, donors, and humanitarian partners to stand in solidarity with refugees, other forcibly displaced people, and host communities by supporting this plan,” she added.
The response plan highlights the need for collective action from national and international stakeholders to mitigate the devastating impact of the humanitarian crisis and promote self-reliance and durable solutions for refugees and hosting communities.
“Sudan continues to demonstrate remarkable solidarity by hosting refugees despite facing significant challenges. The 2025 CRRP reflects our shared commitment to protecting displaced people while promoting social cohesion and sustainable development,” said Dr. Mohammed Yassin, Sudan’s Commissioner for Refugees.
Since the war erupted in April 2023, over 9 million people have been displaced within Sudan, including 266,000 refugees who were forced to flee multiple times to safer areas. The increasing needs of refugees, asylum-seekers and host communities require urgent action. UNHCR and partners call on the international community to support the 2025 Sudan CRRP, ensuring life-saving assistance and fostering resilience for the most vulnerable.
