Sudan: Nearly 300,000 people displaced by conflict in 2022
December 20, 2022 (KHARTOUM) – Almost 300,000 people were displaced by conflict in Sudan, about 900 killed and 1,100 injured since beginning of 2022, the United Nations said.
The UN humanitarian update also showed about 32,800 people were displaced in November by conflict in West Kordofan and Central Darfur states of Sudan.
“The UN and partners reached 9.1 million people with some form of humanitarian assistance between January and September 2022,” it reads in part.
The UN further said that about 1.9 million cases of malaria and close to 4,800 suspected cases of dengue fever were reported across Sudan in 2022.
According to the latest humanitarian bulletin, the 2022 Sudan Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) was only 42.6% funded as of 30 November 2022.
Last week, the humanitarian community in Sudan launched the 2023 HRP to reach out to the most immediate and critical needs of over 10 million of the most vulnerable people seeking generous contributions from donors at US$1.7 billion.
