4.1 Refugee Response Plan
Summary
The ongoing conflict and annual heavy rains and flooding continue to have devasting impacts on the 892,161 refugees and asylum seekers in Sudan, who face a multitude of protection needs and are reliant on humanitarian assistance for survival. An estimated 68 per cent of all refugees live in overcrowded camps, with temporary shelters and security restrictions in place. The needs in these camps are immense and include access to safe water and sanitation facilities, shelter and NFI, health and nutrition, and education. Protection risks facing refugees and asylum seekers include arbitrary arrest and detention, forced recruitment, CRSV, risk of smuggling and trafficking. Further, refugees and asylum seekers are also faced with increasing food insecurity, disease outbreaks, malnutrition, and high mortality rates.
