## Key points

- 15.4 million people need emergency shelter and household supplies.
- Only 936,000 have received assistance so far.
- UN agencies say depleted stocks need urgent, flexible funding.

## Summary

The UN refugee agency and the International Organization for Migration warn that millions of people displaced by Sudan’s war could lose access to emergency shelter and basic household supplies as funding falls short and aid stocks run down. They say agencies can currently prioritise help for only about one in ten people in need, leaving families exposed and making it harder for people returning home to rebuild.

An estimated 15.4 million people across Sudan need shelter and household items, but only 936,000 have received assistance. The war between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces began in 2023; about 8.6 million people have been displaced within the country and more than 4.6 million have fled abroad. IOM says its warehouses are now empty after distributing more than 40,000 tonnes of supplies this year, while over 5.2 million people have returned to areas where homes and services may be destroyed.
