Sudan Site Management Cluster report - October 2024

More than 11 million people are currently internally displaced in Sudan, based on IOM/DTM data as of October 22, 2024. Approximately 4.9 million (44%) of this displaced population resides in sites and site-like settings across Sudan’s 18 states, including camps, collective centers (such as schools and public buildings), and informal, makeshift settlements. Cluster partner assessments highlight that conditions in these sites remain precarious, often below minimum standards, with severe overcrowding and insufficient access to essential services.
The recent spread of hostilities into Al-Jazirah and Sennar has triggered additional displacement to Gedaref, Kassala, and Blue Nile States, overwhelming existing response capacities in these areas. Under the 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP), the Cluster is targeting 1.6 million individuals for site management interventions, prioritizing strengthened community engagement, enhanced site-level coordination, capacity-building, and site upgrades to promote dignified living conditions. However, resource constraints remain a significant challenge, with the Cluster critically underfunded; only 9.2% of the required USD 14 million has been secured to date.
