The 2015 Sudan<\/strong> Humanitarian response plan targets assistance to<\/strong> an estimated <\/strong>5.4 <\/strong>million most vulnerable people in the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the response plan the humanitarian community aims to provide assistance to some 1.6 million of the most food-insecure non-displaced people, as well as 1.2 million of the most severely malnourished children aged under-five.<\/p>\n

Their vulnerability is primarily driven by conflict-induced displacement, chronic food insecurity and malnutrition, OCHA states in its Humanitarian Snapshot of 31 July.<\/p>\n

At the end of 2014, some 3.1 million people in Sudan were internally displaced, of which the majority are in Darfur. A further 700,000 people were refugees, the majority of whom were from South Sudan.<\/p>\n

Since January. an additional 211,000 Darfuris were displaced from their homes by conflict. Of these newly displaced, 84,000 <\/strong>have received some form of humanitarian assistance, OCHA reports.<\/p>\n

Access restrictions and continued insecurity has prevented the verification of a further 99,000 <\/strong>people who reportedly had to flee their homes because of fighting, including in East Jebel Marra, according to OCHA.<\/p>\n

An estimated 36,000 people were displaced in government-controlled areas of South Kordofan this year. 13,000 of them have returned.<\/p>\n

In the government-controlled areas of Blue Nile, some 56,000 were displaced since January. 24,000 of them were relocated; 26,000 returned to their places of origin, and about 6,000 people remain displaced.<\/p>\n

The number of South Sudanese seeking refuge in Sudan grew every month. While 39,000 South Sudanese arrived in Sudan in March 2014, July this year witnessed a peak with some 190,000 new South Sudanese refugees entering the country in search of some safety.<\/p>\n
