Highlights
North Darfur State
- Al Fasher remains under near‑siege, with severe protection risks as well as shortages of food, water, health care, and essential supplies, while insecurity and blocked routes continue to restrict humanitarian access and overstretch services for displaced families.
- Recent assessments in Al Fasher and Garnie confirmed extensive unmet needs among displaced families, including 27,000 newly affected people, with critical gaps in food, shelter, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), immunization, education, and child protection, amid heightened disease and protection risks.
- In the past two weeks, UNICEF with its partners supported Tawila and areas surrounding Al Fasher through:
- Nearly 141,000 children were vaccinated through the Measles‑Rubella / Big Catch‑Up (MR/BCU) campaign, while over 9,000 outpatient consultations and ongoing Community‑Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) services met the rising health and nutrition needs across Tawila and nearby areas.
- WASH partners provided safe water and sanitation to over 65,000 people, including 60 latrines, daily chlorination at 15 water stations, and hygiene promotion for 2,500 people, contributing to zero cholera cases in January.
- Child protection, education, and social protection expanded, with 314 children receiving Psychosocial Support (PSS), new Alternative Learning Programme (ALP) centres serving over 5,600 learners, and 13,000 people receiving daily meals through community kitchens.
Kordofan and White Nile States
- Displacement continues across South, North, and West Kordofan, driven by conflict and insecurity, pushing people through the eastern corridor toward White Nile, where limited services are strained by continuous arrivals.
- White Nile continues to absorb new arrivals from Kordofan and Al Fasher, with overcrowded sites, collapsed schooling, limited livelihoods, and increasing child protection risks, placing heavy pressure on already limited health, nutrition, and WASH services.
- Over the past two weeks, UNICEF with its partners provided multi-sector life-saving response by:
- Ensuring essential Primary Health Care (PHC) and nutrition services continued across South, North, and West Kordofan and White Nile, delivering over 515,000 consultations in South Kordofan alone, treating severe wasting, and maintaining measles vaccination and mobile nutrition teams.
- WASH, child protection, and education responses supported displaced populations through water trucking, latrine services, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), case management, and temporary learning spaces, with over 3,600 people accessing protection services in White Nile.
