Overview
The Sudan Mobility Overview provides an in-depth analysis of displacement and mobility in Sudan between 01 July and 27 August 2024. This bi-monthly report summarizes displacement pathways, movement intentions, and humanitarian needs and access to services among IDPs in Sudan. 

DTM Sudan relies on a network of 492 enumerators and 7,217 key informants to collect data from 8,898 locations across all 18 states in Sudan.

Displacement Figures 

  • DTM Sudan estimates that 10,834,382 individuals (2,186,855 households) are currently displaced in Sudan, as of 27 August 2024.
  • An estimated 8,066,827 individuals were displaced since 15 April 2023. 
  • An estimated 2,344,904 individuals crossed borders into neighbouring countries since 15 April 2023. 
  • 28% of IDPs who were initially displaced prior to the onset of conflict on 15 April 2023 were displaced again after 15 April 2023. 
  • 52% of IDPs were children under the age of 18-years-old. 

Highlights

  • Over 20 per cent of the population in Sudan was displaced since 15 April 2023.
  • An estimated 90 per cent of IDP households could reportedly not afford food.
  • Nearly all IDPs (97%) were in localities with high levels of acute food insecurity or worse (IPC level 3+).
  • An estimated 172,520 individuals were displaced due to floods between July and August 2024. Approximately 41 per cent were already displaced due to conflict prior to the onset of floods.
  • IDPs were displaced from all 18 states in Sudan: over a third (34%) were displaced from Khartoum state.
  • Sudan represents the largest displacement crisis in the world: Sudan hosts approximately 14 per cent of all IDPs worldwide, and approximately 1 in 7 IDPs is Sudanese.
