The nutrition situation in Sudan continues to be dire, aggravated by the ongoing conflict, food insecurity, displacement, and limited access to health and nutrition services. Despite the ongoing
conflict, the sector has been monitoring the evolving nutrition situation across the country using a combination of assessments and monthly acute malnutrition feeding program admissions. The
results of the assessments are validated by the Nutrition Sector Technical Working Group to guide planning of needs estimation, response prioritization, and allocation of limited resources, as well as other related decision-making, including improving situation monitoring at locality levels.
According to recent, validated SMART surveys, the three localities with catastrophic levels of Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) prevalence – Kernoi, Um Baru, and At Tina – are in in North Darfur – making it the state with the worst nutrition situation in 2025.
