3.12 Refugee response plan
Summary
Refugees and asylum seekers in Sudan face acute protection and life-threatening humanitarian needs, exacerbated by conflict and its impacts on national service systems. The conflict has imposed a dramatic rise in protection risks, including physical harm and death, extortion, arbitrary arrest and detention, conflict-related sexual violence, forced recruitment including of children, family separation, and smuggling and trafficking. In tandem, rising food insecurity, overcrowding in safe areas, disease outbreaks, malnutrition and mortality rates are pervasive. Safe water and sanitation facilities, education, and shelter and non-food items (NFIs) are also urgently needed.
