Sudan: Escalating Conflict and Displacement in Blue Nile State

The Women's Advisory Group in Sudan expresses deep concern over the rapidly deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in Blue Nile State. Recent attacks in Ed Damazin have resulted in civilian casualties, injuries, and widespread fear. Displacement in Wad Al-Mahi locality has forced thousands of families to flee, with urgent humanitarian needs including food, shelter, healthcare, and protection services. Women and girls continue to bear the heaviest burden of the crisis, facing heightened risks of gender-based violence, exploitation, and abuse. Women-led organizations and local women's groups are playing a critical role in humanitarian response efforts, providing critical outreach, psychosocial support, and protection services.
