Following the increase in localized displacement due to fires, DTM Sudan released the following report summarizing DTM updates on displacement due to fire incidents across Sudan, from 08 May to 21 May 2024.

DTM field teams reported five fire incidents across North Darfur (1), North Kordofan (2), White Nile (1), and Northern (1) states. Some fires were reportedly caused by increased temperatures and drier climate conditions, while others were due to household accidents.

Highlights 

  • Fires displaced an estimated 575 individuals (approximately 115 households) between 08 May and 21 May 2024.
  • Over 133 structures (126 houses and seven farms) were destroyed or partially damaged by the fires. 
  • The fires resulted in localized displacement: the majority of displaced households sought shelter with host communities within the same locations.
