The Sudan Mobility Overview provides an in-depth analysis of displacement and mobility in Sudan between 01 May - 03 July 2024. This bi-monthly report summarizes displacement pathways, movement intentions, and humanitarian needs of IDPs in Sudan. 

DTM Sudan relies on a network of 470 enumerators and 6,381 key informants to collect data from 8,620 locations across all 18 states in Sudan. 

Displacement Figures

  • DTM Sudan estimates that 10,594,576 individuals (2,129,632 households) are internally displaced in Sudan, as of 03 July 2024.
  • An estimated 7,794,480 individuals were displaced since 15 April 2023. 
  • An estimated 2,238,671 individuals crossed borders into neighbouring countries since 15 April 2023. 
  • 27% of IDPs who were initially displaced prior to the onset of conflict on 15 April 2023 were displaced again after 15 April 2023. 
  • 55% of IDPs were children under the age of 18-years-old. 

Highlights

  • Approximately 50 per cent of IDPs were hosted across the Darfur states, with nearly 17 per cent of all IDPs hosted in South Darfur alone. 
  • Over a third (35%) of all IDPs were displaced from Khartoum state. 
  • Food remained the highest reported need among displaced households: over 97 per cent of IDPs across Sudan were hosted in localities with high levels of acute food insecurity or worse (IPC Level 3+). Food was reportedly unaffordable for an estimated 89 per cent of displaced households. 
  • Over 20 per cent of the population in Sudan was displaced, either internally or across borders, since 15 April 2023. 
  • Sudan hosts approximately 14 per cent of all IDPs worldwide, and approximately 1 in 7 IDPs worldwide are Sudanese.
