The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said the crisis in Sudan continues to have serious consequences for millions, emphasizing that humanitarian needs are at an all-time high, with 30.4 million people in need of assistance.
Between January and April 2025, humanitarian partners provided assistance to 11.1 million people in Sudan, out of a target of 20.9 million, including 7.8 million people who received food and livelihood assistance, and 2.8 million people who received access to clean water, OCHA said in a new update.
Meanwhile, health services were provided to 2.4 million people, and more than 480,000 people received multi-purpose cash assistance. To meet the urgent and growing needs, humanitarian partners are seeking to raise US$4.2 billion in 2025 to help 21 million people across Sudan.
However, as of April 30, only 12.1 percent of this amount has been received. Underfunding and recent budget cuts by various donors have forced humanitarian partners to reprioritize their target population to 17.3 million people, who urgently require $2.4 billion. The scale and severity of the needs require immediate and sustained international and national support.
