Approx.84,000 are expected to give birth in the next 90 days12.1 million People at risk of gender-based violenceHighlightsA monitoring and assessment visit was completed in Khartoum where significant gaps were identified in health and gender-based violence (GBV) service delivery due to the destruction/damage of infrastructure, staff shortages, and funding gaps. Most emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC) facilities in Khartoum, including Ibrahim Teaching and Al-Dayat Hospitals, were non-functional or operating at a reduced capacity. In Omdurman, EmONC facilities were partially operational, with limited resources and supplies. Access to women and girls’ safe spaces (WGSSs) was also compromised, and staff shortages were identified. GBV referral pathways remain fragmented in most localities, limiting survivors’ access to timely, survivor-centered care. Economic hardship and a lack of transportation are further exacerbating women and girls’ vulnerabilities.Six GBV safety audits were conducted across Kassala, White Nile, River Nile, and Gedaref states. Key findings across the sites highlighted heightened risks of sexual violence during displacement, limited access to safe shelters, significant gaps in access to clinical care, and insufficient availability of specialized GBV services and WGSSs. The assessments also noted an increased risk of sexual exploitation linked to acute humanitarian needs and the lack of adequate sanitation facilities. Findings from these audits informed the update of referral pathways, improving survivors' access to essential services.Findings from a UNFPA mission to El Geneina, West Darfur, highlighted severe disruptions in reproductive health (RH) services due to damaged health infrastructure and insecurity. Comprehensive emergency obstetric and newborn care (CEmONC) services, in particular, remain limited, due to shortages of equipment and trained personnel. The confidential corner for GBV services also lacks adequate privacy, essential supplies, and staffing—emphasizing the urgent need for sustained, multi-sectoral support.EmONC and RH services have been expanded in multiple states including White Nile, Al Jazirah, Sinnar and Khartoum, but access is still severely limited, particularly in rural and remote areas. Access challenges continue to persist in Darfur. Across the country, there is a shortage of essential supplies and medical equipment, and a lack of trained midwives, obstetricians and emergency obstetric care providers. An estimated 2.5 million displaced women and girls of reproductive age urgently require access to RH services.UNFPA and partners continue to provide life-saving services for maternal health care and to prevent and respond to GBV in all 18 states of Sudan, including through 15 mobile health teams. UNFPA is also supporting the rehabilitation of health facilities and has deployed 365 health workers.Situation OverviewGender-based violence: Over 12.2 million people in Sudan, mostly women and girls, are at risk of GBV. This figure has surged by 80% since last year and 350% since the war began in April 2023, driven by the widespread use of GBV as a weapon of war and the collapse of protection systems. Severe access constraints, insecurity and critical resource shortages continue to hinder the GBV response with less than 10% of those in need reached with life-saving services to date. Only 27% of 278 service delivery points assessed are fully functional for clinical management of rape (CMR).Since the beginning of 2025, close to 92,000 individuals have received services from UNFPA and its partners through 103 facilities (79 static and 24 mobile/temporary clinics). Due to funding cuts, UNFPA is now only able to support 29 facilities, including mobile and temporary clinics.According to the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH), 21 out of 26 hospitals—representing 81% of those assessed in Khartoum State—are currently providing RH services.
