Sudan Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2026 - Summary
Country: Sudan Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached Infographic. OVERVIEW The 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan is based on a comprehensive, countrywide inter-sectoral analysis of needs in Sudan. In 2026, 33.7 million people require humanitarian assistance — the highest number globally and an increase of 3.3 million from 2025. Those most at risk include women and girls, children, older people, persons with disabilities, internally displaced people, refugees and ethnic minorities, who face heightened protection risks, including violence, exposure to hostilities, explosive hazards, repeated displacement, exploitation and exclusion. As communities endure an unprecedented humanitarian and protection crisis, they are also confronting a sharp reduction in life-saving assistance due to major funding cuts. These shortfalls are affecting all sectors, including support for people facing the most severe conditions. In response, and in line with the Humanitarian Reset, partners undertook a strict prioritization exercise. The plan should be understood as a basic survival package of urgent, life-saving assistance for those in most dire need. More than 170 humanitarian organizations are delivering principled, multi-sectoral assistance targeting those most in need. Partners aim to assist 20.4 million people , including 14 million facing extreme conditions. To deliver this response, $2.9 billion is required. Preparations included consultations with about 3,500 people and 145 community-based organizations across all 18 states, ensuring the response remains accountable to affected communities.
