Since the outbreak of armed conflict in April 2023, the severity of humanitarian needs in Sudan has drastically increased.  

Within 12 months, RI is delivering lifesaving assistance to conflict-affected individuals in North Darfur state to 113,776 individuals. RI plans to address a core problem: conflict-affected communities in North Darfur experience high morbidity and mortality due to mass population displacement and conflict and climate-related disasters. Underlying causes include limited access to quality, comprehensive primary healthcare and nutrition services; insufficient access WASH facilities; and limited capacity to manage recurrent shocks. Through improved access to high-quality, integrated supports for health, nutrition, WASH, and disaster risk reduction, RI project contribute to reduced morbidity and mortality.  

By working at both community and at 7 health facilities levels in North Darfur, RI aims to expand access to integrated services. Health interventions will focus on disease prevention, early warning, and emergency care, while ensuring proper waste management and free care. Nutrition activities will prevent and treat malnutrition; WASH interventions will improve water access, hygiene promotion, and waste management, while immediate food assistance through vouchers will be distribution to address increasing food insecurity amongst conflict-affected households.
