The Tawila camp in North Darfur, Sudan, currently hosts over one million displaced individuals, primarily fleeing from the state capital, El Fasher. These individuals were displaced following the October seizure of El Fasher by paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The camp faces severe shortages of essential supplies, including medical resources, food, and safe drinking water. Aid organizations operating within the camp are experiencing challenges in meeting these growing needs due to diminishing funding.
Since the RSF and Sudanese Armed Forces began clashing in April 2023, the conflict has resulted in tens of thousands of fatalities and over 11 million displaced individuals, as reported by the United Nations. An estimated 34 million people across Sudan require urgent humanitarian assistance.

The need for tailored services to address these specific challenges has been emphasized.
The ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Sudan continue to demand international attention and support to alleviate the suffering of displaced populations and address their critical needs.
