Since the conflict broke, we are providing essential non-food items like mattresses, blankets, and cooking fuel, along with hygiene supplies to people in need. We're also scaling up food assistance across all areas to mitigate the rising costs of food and the reduced purchasing capabilities of households, ensuring vulnerable communities do not fall into critical food insecurity. Urgent action is needed to address the food crisis and food infrastructure systems.
Impact of Conflict
Rapid deterioration leaves 25.6M people in high levels of acute food insecurity, 14 areas at risk of Famine
8.5M people (18 percent of the population) face Emergency (IPC Phase 4).
At least 534,000 IDPs and refugees (20% of Sudan's displaced population) are likely to face critical or catastrophic acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 4 or 5).
FEWS NET projects that between 20 and 21 million people (40-45% of Sudan's population) will need humanitarian food assistance by May 2025.
Up to 60–80% of the population relies on agriculture for income

- Conflict-affected and marginalized households in host communities, refugee, and IDP settlements have sufficient food and resources for early livelihood recovery.
- Expanding food assistance across all areas to counter rising food costs and reduced purchasing power, preventing vulnerable communities from falling into critical food insecurity.
