Policy brief: Sudan conflict 2 years on
This policy brief provides an assessment of the main areas of concern in the humanitarian situation in Sudan.
The conflict in Sudan which erupted in April 2023 has evolved into the world’s fastest growing and largest displacement crisis, the world’s largest child displacement crisis and the world’s largest hunger crisis.
One in every 4 Sudanese is now displaced and 1 out of every 6 displaced persons globally is Sudanese.
“I never thought I would become displaced in my own country. The clashes came suddenly, and there was no warning. My family tried to flee, but we were separated along the way. I ended up in this camp with strangers.”
Salma, 22, East Sudan
Sudan is also facing catastrophic levels of hunger due to the crisis with the country now among the top 4 countries in the world with the highest prevalence of global acute malnutrition .
This brief provides an assessment of the main areas of concern in the humanitarian situation in Sudan. It is drawn from observations and field visits by Plan International staff coordinating the response to the crisis and highlights recommendations towards ensuring all children are protected from violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation through appropriate prevention and response interventions in line with the Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action.
