At least 15,000 people have been killed across Sudan since conflict broke out in Khartoum two years ago on 15 April, 2023. Health and humanitarian services are under great strain due to attacks and evacuations significantly constraining capacity on the ground. More than 8.2 million people have already been displaced due to the fighting, with many fleeing into neighbouring countries.

CDAC Network members are on the frontline responding to the critical needs in the region, including creating tools and resources for those working on the response. This portal is continually updated: if you have resources to share, please send them to info@cdacnetwork.org.
