SUDAN :Humanitarian Update
1 – 31 December 2024
HIGHLIGHTS:
Sudan is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises due to the scale of escalating needs, the number of people displaced, the rising malnutrition rates and food insecurity.
An estimated 30.4 million people need assistance in 2025. This is nearly two-thirds of the country’s population and marks an increase of 5.6 million people from 2024, driven by the devastating conflict, ensuing displacement, disease outbreaks, natural disasters and decimated livelihoods.
The Sudan 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) launched in December 2024 seeks $4.2 billion to assist 20.9 million of the most vulnerable people.
Dire living conditions in Zamzam IDP camp in North Darfur, where famine was declared in August 2024. People are surviving on crushed peanut shells typically used to feed animals.
