Sudan - South Sudan
As the protracted emergency enters its sixth year, the South Sudan situation remains the largest refugee situation on the African continent. There are over 2.2 million refugees in Sudan, Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a further 1.8 million people displaced internally in South Sudan. The situation continues to be characterized as a children’s crisis with children constituting over 65 percent of the refugee population.

Sudan - Central African Republic Regional Response
The dire crisis in the Central African Republic continues to trigger massive forced displacement, increasing pressure on resources and living conditions in host communities and countries. Intense militia activity and inter-community violence hampers humanitarian access and exposes civilians to serious protection risks. According to OCHA, CAR remains the country with the highest humanitarian needs per capita, with 50 per cent of the population having to rely on humanitarian assistance to survive, while 25 per cent is displaced either internally or in a neighbouring country.

Sudan - Regional Bureau for the East and Horn of Africa, and the Great Lakes Region
In September 2019, with the aim of bringing decision making closer to the point of delivery, UNHCR opened its Regional Bureau for the East, Horn of Africa and Great Lakes Region (EHAGL). It is located in Nairobi, Kenya and covers 11 operations: Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. Within the EHAGL region, two situations are managed by the Bureau: the Sudan Situation and the South Sudan Situation. The Bureau has accountability for strategic decision-making, regional prioritization, oversight of integrity issues, and quality assurance, and possesses the technical capacity to support country operations in a wide range of sectors such as education, child protection, economic inclusion and durable solutions.

Sudan - Sudan situation
Since the start of the conflict in Sudan in mid-April, large numbers of civilians have been forced to flee, including people who were already internally displaced and refugees from other countries who had sought safety in Sudan. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled into neighbouring countries or returned home in adverse circumstances – notably to the Central African Republic, Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia and South Sudan. Others self-relocated within Sudan.

Sign up for email updatesIn March 2023, Sudan reached the highest number of refugee and asylum seekers in the year with 1, 144,675. South Sudanese make the majority. Many others fled violence and persecution in neighbouring countries, including Eritrea, the Central African Republic, Ethiopia and Chad, but also the wars in Syria and Yemen pushed people to seek safety in Sudan. Most refugees lived in out-of-camp settings, host communities and urban areas, while others stay in camps, especially in East Sudan and White Nile State.
Since April 15th, the conflict has forced refugees in Sudan and millions of Sudanese to a forced displacement within the country and beyond Sudan borders. Some of them have faced multiple forced displacement within Sudan and in some extend out of the country.
Ongoing forced displacements have been tracked by mechanisms jointly put in place by competent government entities, UNHCR and its partners. Analysis showed that the forced displacements remain for the majority a self-relocation to safer areas within Sudan. Most of this caseload has been received in White Nile State (74%), eastern states (17%) and others (9%).
UNHCR Sudan and neighbouring country operations have put in place feedback mechanisms to identify refugees and asylum seekers, earlier registered in Sudan and who have crossed borders to other countries. Such mechanisms allow refugee records updates in PRIMES and give opportunity of transferring histories of identified refugees to receiving end where they will continue benefiting protection.
Within Sudan, UNHCR has sought to register the internal displacement of refugees and asylum seekers in a phased approach, contingent to the security environment. Estimates were generally used to support the emergency response at the onset of the crisis. In a subsequent phase, registration teams in field offices have deployed efforts on population fixing through verification of past enrolment, new registrations, and consequently issuing refugees documentation.
