Sudan: UN Warns of Worsening Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan As Displacement, Hunger and Disease Escalate

SUDAN, JUL 7 – More than 12 million people have been displaced and over 32,000 cholera cases reported as Sudan’s humanitarian funding remains below 25 percent, UN officials said.

  • In April 2023, intense clashes broke out in Sudan involving the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, resulting in the displacement of more than 780,000 people from El Fasher and surrounding camps.
  • This war, alongside climate disasters, has strained infrastructure and driven a cholera outbreak amid rising famine, with millions at risk and low humanitarian funding.
  • In the main city of North Darfur, nearly 40% of children under five are experiencing acute malnutrition, while damaged water infrastructure and restricted humanitarian access further exacerbate the crisis.
  • UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric emphasized that ongoing conflict and damaged infrastructure are exacerbating the disease outbreak and hindering efforts to respond effectively, highlighting the urgent need for assistance.
  • The ongoing crisis demands urgent humanitarian pauses and coordinated responses as limited resources and disrupted markets deepen suffering for millions in Sudan.
