Rhino: Follow-up – The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) stated that millions of people in Sudan have lost their homes due to the conflict and now face the risk of being deprived of even the most basic forms of shelter. It noted that 15.4 million people across the country are in urgent need of emergency shelters and basic household supplies.

UNHCR warned that a severe funding shortfall allows humanitarian agencies to provide assistance to only 1 in 10 people in need. It noted that families forced to flee violence face difficulties in finding safety, while others return to find their homes and communities destroyed.

UNHCR revealed that, with emergency supplies dwindling to critical levels, millions of people may find themselves vulnerable to extreme weather, insecurity, and other risks. It emphasized that access to safe shelter is not a luxury, but a basic necessity.
