Sudan displacement surges as fighting and floods hit Kordofan

Sudan humanitarian crisis Kordofan displacement seasonal flooding infrastructure attacks International Organization for Migration

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has reported that intensified fighting and seasonal flooding have displaced more than 200,000 people in Sudan’s Kordofan region since late 2025. This surge adds to a massive humanitarian crisis where approximately 8.6 million people are already internally displaced across the country.

In North Kordofan, drone strikes targeting the main electrical transformer in El Obeid have caused prolonged power outages, disrupting essential services including water pumping, telecommunications, and healthcare facilities. Displacement in the Sheikan district has risen by 25 percent over the last eight months.

Other regions are also facing severe distress. In North Darfur, heavy rains have damaged or destroyed nearly 1,350 homes, displacing over 1,000 families. In Blue Nile state, clashes have forced roughly 7,800 people to flee, with some crossing into Ethiopia.

IOM Director General Amy Pope warned that the convergence of conflict, infrastructure damage, and destructive floods is stretching families beyond their limits. Furthermore, humanitarian relief efforts are being hindered by global supply chain delays, particularly through the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz.
