Sudan displacement crisis

Conflict in Sudan, and the late-2024 declaration of famine in five areas within the country, have caused more than 3 million people to seek refuge in South Sudan, Chad, and neighboring countries. Oxfam and partners are providing clean water, promoting public health, installing emergency drinking water systems, toilets, and bathing facilities, and distributing food and cash so that displaced families can self-select the additional items they may need.
