Escalating violence in the Kordofan and Darfur regions is devastating the lives of civilians and raising needs amid limited humanitarian access.

There are now 12.0 million forcibly displaced due to the outbreak of conflict in Sudan since April 2023, including 7.7 million internally and 4.1 million in neighbouring countries.

The Sudan Mobility Update provides a summary of the total IDP population in Sudan, including those displaced both before and after the onset of the conflict on 15 April 2023.

As of June, more than half of South Sudan’s population—approximately 7.7 million people—are facing severe levels of acute food insecurity.

Yemen remains one of the world’s most acute and complex humanitarian crises. In 2025, protracted conflict, economic decline, and extreme weather driven by climate change have left more than 19.5 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.

UNOCHA reports that over 9.3 million children are expected to suffer from high levels of acute malnutrition between June 2024 and May 2025 in Burundi, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda.

Sudan continues to be the world’s largest displacement and hunger crisis, further deepening humanitarian needs in the country.

Due to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Sudan with more than 124 million forcibly displaced, out of which 3.4 million fled into neighbouring countries, the Federation-wide Emergency Appeal was revised, increasing the total funding ask from the initial CHF 42 million to CHF 47.5 million and extending the operation end date to December 2025.

As of April 2025, 15 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were operational, monitoring internal movements and cross-border flows with neighboring countries, including Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sudan (SDN), Ethiopia (ETH), Kenya (KEN), and the Central African Republic (CAR).

Amid escalating humanitarian needs driven by conflict, flooding, acute food insecurity and cholera outbreaks, the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has urgently allocated US$10 million to support life-saving humanitarian assistance for more than 270,000 people in South Sudan.

At least 110,000* severely acutely malnourished children supported by Save the Children in 10 countries could be left without access to life-saving ready-to-use emergency food and nutrition programmes as aid cuts hit supplies in coming months, according to a Save the Children analysis.

Since February, airstrikes and violent clashes have displaced an estimated 80,000 people in Nasir, Ulang and Longochuk counties. Approximately 23,000 have fled into parts of Gambella region, Ethiopia. Many others wait in displacement sites along the Sobat River.

WFP is working to scale up assistance in Sudan for 7 million people by mid-year in Sudan. In Libya, in February, WFP distributed food assistance to 4,285 individuals and reached 342 children under five and 125 pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls.

As reported on 13 February 2025: In Zamzam Camp, El Fasher city, North Darfur state, seven people were killed, including two International aid workers, and 40 injured when the RSF carried out an attack for two days on the camp and looted and burned livestock

More than 22 months have passed since the escalation of conflict in Sudan in April 2023. Health is the sector with the third highest people in need as per the Humanitarian Needs Response Plan 2025 (HNRP).

There are now 12.9 million forcibly displaced due to the outbreak of conflict in Sudan since April 2023, including 8.9 million internally and 3.8 million in neighbouring countries.

Phase One of the Gaza ceasefire, from 19 January to 1 March 2025, allowed the humanitarian community to rapidly implement a prepared scale-up of its response. It enabled the daily entry of a large volume of humanitarian supplies and a steady stream of fuel.

Relentless Israeli airstrikes are being carried out in densely populated areas, including in Beirut, and essential civilian infrastructure and property have been struck and destroyed.

A4EP, a global alliance of Southern organisations, the 63rd and the newest signatory,  will ensure GB policy discourses remain centred on affected populations and informed  by the experiences of local actors to strengthen effective, efficient and timely  responses through a nexus approach. A4EP commits to working together with  international actors to address the barriers in establishing equitable partnerships with  local actors. We will work with others to ensure distributive and collaborative decision 
making in the global governance of the Grand Bargain and at the country level.
