Today marks two years since the start of the conflict in Sudan—a crisis that has forced millions from their homes, devastated communities, and exacted a terrible toll on civilians and humanitarian personnel alike.
The Global Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster strongly condemns the brutal attacks on displacement camps in Sudan’s Darfur region. The assault on the famine-stricken Zamzam and Abu Shouk camps has claimed the lives of more than 100 internally displaced persons, including 20 children and nine humanitarian workers—colleagues who were operating one of the last functioning health posts in Zamzam camp. These deliberate attacks are a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and a direct contravention of UN Security Council Resolution 2736, which demands an immediate end to all violence against civilians and humanitarian personnel.
As of March 2025, Sudan hosts over 11.3 million internally displaced persons (IDPs), the highest number recorded globally, with 47% living in over 3300 displacement sites across all 18 states of Sudan. Since its activation in July 2023, the CCCM Cluster has played a pivotal role in coordinating site management across the country. In 2025, 4.7 million IDPs were identified as people in need. Working alongside 20 local and international partners, the Cluster is scaling up efforts to provide harmonized, multi-sectoral services, strengthen site management, and enhance protection measures.
