3.2. Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items (ES&NFIs)
Summary
Sudan faces growing shelter needs due to conflict, refugee influxes, and natural disasters. In 2025, 11.7 million people will need shelter and non-food items (NFI), an increase of 36 per cent from 2024. Key issues include inadequate shelters, with 15.22 per cent of people living in makeshift homes suffering from leakage of roofs (50 per cent), lack of privacy (24 per cent), and lack of lighting (16 per cent). Many households lack bedding (75 per cent) and kitchen sets (30 per cent). There is also an urgent need for women- and girl-friendly spaces, and solutions for 191,619 displaced families using schools as shelters.
