• Since April 2023, the conflict in Sudan has forcibly displaced 10 million individuals within the country and an additional 2 million to neighboring nations like Chad, South Sudan, Egypt, and the Central African Republic.

• Approximately 15 million people urgently require healthcare assistance, but only 26% of the necessary funding has been secured.

• Food insecurity plagues 7.6 million people, with 6.3 million facing emergency-level food shortages.
