FRAGILITY RANKING

7th out of 180 countries


Overview

Renewed conflict in Sudan has claimed thoussands of lives, caused mass suffering, and created the world’s largest internal displacement crisis with over 7.1 million people displaced in total.

The ongoing conflict between military factions in Sudan continues to have a devastating impact on people – both in Sudan and its neighboring countries.

Sudan is now witnessing the world’s largest internal displacement crisis with over 7.1 million people displaced in total.

Across Sudan, the fighting has impacted every aspect of daily life. Limited supplies of food and water have been reported, with what is available being quickly taken by armed groups. Prices for everyday items have soared by over 100%. Essential amenities like banks and schools have shut down with no clear timeline for when they will re-open.

Approximately 60% of all hospitals are non-functional. Incidents of criminality are on the rise making it unsafe for households to venture outside. And, in Khartoum and other areas around the country, violent conflict continues with thousands dead and thousands more injured.

UNHCR estimates over 300,000 refugees/returnees have already arrived in South Sudan and 450,000 have arrived in Chad. The majority of these new arrivals are women and children. Many have arrived after running for their lives, suffering from psychological trauma, owning nothing, and in need of urgent care and shelter.

Our teams are responding to the increased needs of communities in Sudan as a result of the ongoing conflict. We now provide primary healthcare, vaccinations, family planning, and care for expectant and new mothers at 47 locations across the country. We also build local capacity by training national health service providers and conducting community-wide campaigns on disease prevention and healthy practices.

Relief International started working in North Darfur in 2006, and is one of the last remaining aid organizations in Zamzam camp. Very few services exist here for the camp’s growing population of over 200,000 residents.
