Sudan is now the largest internal displacement crisis globally, hosting an estimated 9.05 million displaced persons (IDPs) as of 31 December 2023, and accounting for 13 percent of all IDPs globally. Ongoing conflict since April 15, 2023, has displaced over 6 million people, hampering humanitarian access in conflict zones.

Despite the challenging situation, UNFPA continues to ensure the provision of uninterrupted life-saving health and protection services, including clinical management of rape, in Wad Madani and Aj Jazirah states. UNFPA mapped the available GBV and SRH services in Aj Jazirah and established a remote service provision modality for survivors of GBV. Women and Girls Safe Spaces were established in IDP sites, offering psychosocial support and information. Units of Oxytocin were distributed for obstetric hemorrhage, the leading cause of preventable maternal deaths in Sudan. Other support provided includes emergency and obstetric care, deployment of care providers, mobile clinics, referral systems, and rehabilitation of health facilities.
