Overview of the humanitarian situation
Hundreds of thousands of people fled from Sudan to Chad when fighting broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on 15 April. Several organisations had already begun providing initial support with the resources currently at hand but urgent additional funding is required to supply people with their most urgent needs – namely, water, food, healthcare, shelter, and protection.
CERF-funded assistance
The Emergency Relief Coordinator on 25 April allocated an initial $3 million from CERF’s rapid response window for life-saving humanitarian action when there were about 10,000-20,000 new arrivals, as well as additional top-ups of $5 million on 17 May and $6m on 25 June (i.e., a total of $14m) in view of the scale of the refugee movements from Sudan and the growing humanitarian needs of host communities. This funding enables UN agencies and partners to provide life-saving assistance to 338,000 people across multiple sectors, including 184,400 women, 43,000 men, 110,000 children, and 25,000 people with disabilities. This includes both new arrivals from Sudan and host communities.
