Fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has continued for over two months, with ongoing violence in Khartoum, Kordofan, Darfur and Blue Nile. Since April, more than 2.8 million people have been forced into displacement, including 2.2 million internally-displaced.

UNFPA, as all humanitarian actors, is facing operational challenges as it scales up the response. Some 67 percent of hospitals, in areas affected by fighting, are closed and several maternity hospitals are out of action, including Omdurman Hospital, the largest referral hospital in Sudan.
