JOB CONTEXT:
On 15 April 2023, clashes erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with devastating consequences for civilians. According to IOM estimates, as of 5 May, approximately 736,223 individuals have been displaced internally as a result of the conflict – mainly in the states of Khartoum, Northern, Blue Nile, North Kordofan, North Darfur, West Darfur and South Darfur. The fighting is severely exacerbating the already fragile humanitarian situation in the country. Humanitarian needs had already reached record levels before hostilities broke, with nearly 16 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.

The number of people fleeing Sudan continues to rise. According to IOM estimates, as of 5 May, 177,116 individuals have crossed into neighbouring countries.
