On 15 April, fighting erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The fighting has been centred in Khartoum, but other parts of the country such as Darfur have not been spared. Despite repeated promises of a ceasefire, hostilities have persisted, with the toll of dead and injured – mostly civilians – increasing. The humanitarian situation is dire due to shortages of food, water and fuel, limited communications and electricity, and skyrocketing prices.

UNHCR’s financial requirements for the emergency total $253.9 million. This includes an amount reallocated from ExCom-approved requirements totalling $114.5 million and supplementary needs of $139.4 million for a response that will prioritize urgently needed humanitarian assistance. These supplementary needs come in addition to the existing requirements for the concerned operations which already amounted to $1.421 billion in 2023.
