Humanitarian Situation in Sudan at ‘Catastrophic Levels’, Says NGO

04/09/2026

The humanitarian situation has reached “catastrophic levels” for civilians and is even more critical for persons with disabilities three years into the war in Sudan, the nongovernmental organization Humanity & Inclusion says. 
  
The war between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces erupted in April 2023, unleashing a wave of violence that has led to one of the world’s fastest-growing man-made humanitarian crises since then. 
 
Humanity & Inclusion, an international NGO focused on disabled and vulnerable people in dire situations, said in a statement on Thursday that the situation of the most vulnerable continues to deteriorate as violence persists, basic services collapse, and threats are posed by unexploded ordnance. 
  
The NGO said an estimated 11.6 million people have been displaced in the war, and more than 33 million require humanitarian assistance, adding that more than three million people had already returned home by the end of January 2026, including 700,000 from abroad.
