The fighting inside Sudan is having devastating humanitarian effects both inside the country and in the wider region.

The mission was closed in 2015 due to a decrease in humanitarian needs. Despite this, INTERSOS has continued to support Sudanese refugees in neighboring countries by providing humanitarian assistance.
