SITUATION REPORT
Sudan conflict and refugee crisis, Multi-country External Situation Report #10, covering the reporting period March-April 2025 [https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/sudan-conflict-and-refugee-crisis–multi-country-external-situation-report–10–covering-the-reporting-period-march-april-2025]
This is the tenth report summarizing the multi-country health situation and WHO’s response to the regional emergency caused by the conflict in Sudan. More than 14.5 million people are forcibly displaced due to the regional crisis-the largest number in the world-and nearly four million have fled to neighbouring countries, including Egypt, South Sudan, Chad, Ethiopia, Libya, Central African Republic and others. As the Health Cluster lead agency, WHO ensures the coordination across partners and the strategic approach of the humanitarian health response.
The humanitarian crisis in Sudan has worsened significantly as the country enters its third year of conflict. The scale of displacement, compounded by ongoing violence, has resulted in deteriorating living conditions, disruption of core services, and the near collapse of the health system in large parts of Sudan.
Congestion of camps and spontaneous settlements, limited access to safe water and sanitation, and overstretched health infrastructure have all acted together to produce an environment conducive to rapid spread of communicable diseases. Urgent humanitarian needs include access to clean water, food, shelter, healthcare, and core relief items.
