Overview This situation report is the first WHO report summarizing the multi-country health situation and WHO response across the regional emergency caused by the conflict in Sudan. Since the start of the conflict in April 2023, 10 million have been displaced internally--the largest number in the world--and 2 million into neighbouring countries including Chad, South Sudan, Egypt, and the Central African Republic. There is frequent re-displacement as lines of control continue to shift between the parties involved in the conflict. In addition to direct health effects of the conflict such as trauma, there has been extensive damage and disruption to the health system in Sudan, with millions in the country lacking access to healthcare, further exacerbating the already fragile health of many already vulnerable people.
