Sudan conflict and refugee crisis, Multi-country External Situation Report #9, covering the reporting period January-February 2025

This is the ninth report summarizing the multi-country health situation and WHO’s response to the regional emergency caused by the conflict in Sudan. More than 12.9 million people are currently internally displaced in Sudan—the largest number in the world—and over 3.8 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. As indicated in the Sudan Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) for 2025, 20.3 million people are in need of health assistance in the country, of which the Health Cluster partners are targeting a total of 9.4 million people who are most vulnerable.
