January 2, 2026 Humanitarian aid

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) expresses concern about the impact of the escalating violence on the civilian population, particularly in the Kordofan region and North Darfur state.

In South Kordofan State, the humanitarian situation in the besieged towns of Dilling and Kadugli continues to deteriorate: both towns are isolated, supplies are rapidly depleting, and prices for food and other essential goods are skyrocketing.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reports that civilians who have managed to flee cities are arriving in several other locations in the Kordofan region and White Nile State. The IOM also confirms that displacement continues in North Kordofan State.

Conflict and instability are also driving people out of North Darfur, including across the border into Chad.

Earlier this week, Sudanese authorities confirmed that they had extended permission to use the Adre border crossing for the delivery of humanitarian supplies until the end of March.

UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher welcomed the news, reiterating his gratitude to the Sudanese and Chadian authorities. He emphasized that ensuring continued border access is crucial to saving lives.
