UNICEF Sudan Humanitarian Situation Report: February 2026

Highlights

• Sudan’s crisis deepened in February, with 33.7 million people, including 17.3 million children, requiring urgent humanitarian assistance as conflict escalated across Darfur, Kordofan and Blue Nile. Displacement reached 9.1 million people, one of the highest figures globally.
• A significant achievement was the interruption of cholera transmission, with zero cases reported during the month. UNICEF and partners supported this outcome by delivering integrated health, nutrition, WASH and protection services at scale. 386,700 people received primary health care, 29,870 children were treated for severe acute malnutrition, and 3.9 million people gained access to safe water. Education support reached 10,400 children, while 311,400 children and caregivers accessed critical child protection services.
• UNICEF’s Sudan humanitarian appeal remained only 16 per cent funded, significantly constraining the scale and continuity of lifesaving interventions and leaving crisis affected children increasingly vulnerable.
