As of April 2025, over 406,000 IDPs were forcibly displaced from Zamzam IDP Camp in North Darfur. Most remain unassisted across 19 localities, with Tawila and El Fasher overwhelmed by the influx. The Zamzam IDP site is non-functional, and humanitarian access remains highly constrained.
In North Darfur, the cluster engaged partners to consider scaling up in response to Zamzam displacement—while readiness was noted, funding remains a gap. The national Site Management Coordination (SMC) team contributed to the Tawila Draft Response Plan. DRC is active in Golo, and NRC is preparing to respond in Tawila.
Ongoing conflict and economic collapse continue to drive mass internal displacement, especially in Khartoum, Kordofan, and Darfur, straining both camp and out-of-camp site capacities.
Since January 2025, the Site Management Cluster has reached over 231,000 individuals, including 18,815 people in April alone, through a range of interventions addressing site coordination, infrastructure rehabilitation, information dissemination, and referrals. This scale-up reflects the cluster’s expanding operational footprint and responsiveness to dynamic displacement patterns.
