Country: Sudan Sources: REACH Initiative, Save the Children Please refer to the attached file. CONTEXT & RATIONALE Armed clashes erupted on 15 April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces across multiple cities in Sudan, triggering mass displacement and significantly worsening already severe humanitarian needs nationwide. Since then, protracted conflict has continued to drive displacement, disrupt essential services, markets, and constrain humanitarian access.1 As of December 2025, the situation in South Kordofan has further deteriorated amid ongoing hostilities. Dilling has experienced prolonged insecurity and siege-like conditions, severely limiting access to food, healthcare, and other essential services. According to FEWS NET, an Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes with populations in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) reported in key hotspot areas, including Dilling. The cumulative effects of conflict, movement restrictions, and market disruptions have significantly heightened vulnerabilities among both displaced and non-displaced populations. The scale of hunger, acute malnutrition, and mortality is still expected to remain high in Dilling and sarrounding areas. In this context, IMPACT conducted a Rapid Needs Assessment (RNA) in Dilling locality in collaboration with Save the Children (SCI) Sudan from 10 to 28 December 2025. The assessment comprised 128 household surveys (77 internally displaced households and 51 non-displaced households) and aimed to inform humanitarian actors on the scale and severity of needs among conflict affected populations. Findings are indicative of the humanitarian needs of the assessed population.
