Abstract

IPC Special Reports are produced by the IPC Global Initiative and do not necessarily reflect the views of stakeholders in Sudan. This analysis draws on data and contextual information available up to 10 April 2026. The implications for Sudan of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East were considered in this analysis to the extent possible. However, prevailing uncertainty regarding the evolution of the crisis constrained the IPC analysis team’s ability to forecast its full potential impact at the time of writing. This information product follows the approach applied in the IPC analysis. IPC findings for February-May 2026 cover the entire country (195 localities and IDP settlements). Findings for June-September 2026 (lean season) and October 2026-January 2027 (harvest season) are limited to areas (56 localities and IDP settlements) where new data were available or could be reasonably extrapolated to similar nearby areas. A full nationwide projection analysis was not possible due to data gaps. The IPC Global Initiative intends to analyse the remaining areas as soon as sufficient data becomes available. Caution is therefore advised when comparing figures across analysis periods, as geographic coverage differs significantly.
