Displaced populations in Sudan and the Gaza Strip are experiencing severe humanitarian crises. In Sudan’s North Kordofan state, particularly in El Obeid, families in makeshift camps report extreme hunger and inconsistent water access. The International Organization for Migration noted that escalating violence in Kordofan has caused a 65 percent surge in displacement since October 2025, contributing to a situation where nearly 19.5 million people face crisis levels of acute food insecurity.

In the Gaza Strip, displaced families are living in hazardous conditions, including camps located near garbage dumps. These environments have increased health risks such as scabies, allergies, and infections caused by rodents and flies. Furthermore, shortages of medicine and high treatment costs have hindered access to necessary healthcare for children.
