This report covers the human rights and humanitarian situation in the Darfur region during June 2026 and is based on information and field data documenting security, humanitarian, social and economic developments, as well as the activities of civil society organizations and humanitarian response. The data indicates that the general situation continues to deteriorate because of the armed conflict, with the scope of violations and their direct impact on civilians, and the continued restrictions that impede the access of humanitarian aid and basic services. Darfur states witnessed the continuation of military operations and clashes between the conflict parties, in addition to the use of drones and aerial bombardment in a number of areas, which led to civilian deaths and injuries, the targeting of markets, residential areas and means of transportation, as well as the occurrence of burning of villages and properties, widespread looting of private and commercial property, and high crime rates and insecurity in a number of cities and towns. The information also documented incidents of extrajudicial killings, kidnappings, arbitrary arrests, and detention in exchange for ransom, in addition Cases of torture that in some cases led to death, reflecting the continued deterioration of the security environment and the weak protection available to civilians. Waves of internal displacement continued as a result of armed attacks and security tensions, as large numbers of people were forced to leave their villages and areas for safer areas or to displacement camps, while the situation of Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad continued to deteriorate, in light of limited basic services and high humanitarian needs, especially in the areas of health care, food, water, protection and shelter. The humanitarian sector recorded increasing challenges during June, represented by the disruption of some humanitarian supply routes, the rise in the prices of fuel and basic commodities, the deterioration of infrastructure, and the difficulty of humanitarian organizations’ access to some conflict-affected areas. The administrative decisions regarding the suspension of the activities of some humanitarian organizations have also affected the continuity of the provision of health services, especially those provided to women, children and survivors of sexual violence, at a time when humanitarian needs have increased significantly. The data showed the continued economic deterioration and an unprecedented rise in the prices of food, fuel and basic consumer items in a few states, which exacerbated the burden of living on households, especially displaced families and female-headed households, as purchasing power declined and reliance on humanitarian assistance increased. In the health sector, serious challenges have emerged in the form of the spread of epidemic diseases, including the rise in cases of monkeypox and measles and malnutrition among children, as well as shortages of medicines, medical supplies and treatment services, and increased pressure on health facilities, especially in areas with high numbers of displaced and returnees. The information also showed that women and children continue to be exposed to increased risks, including difficulties in accessing health care, increasing risks of gender-based violence, exploitation and extortion, both within displacement areas and in refugee camps, and high levels of inadequate protection for the most vulnerable. In contrast, civil society organizations, emergency rooms and volunteer initiatives continued to play an important role in responding to humanitarian needs, by providing food, shelter, health services, water, psychosocial support, implementing training and capacity-building programmes, supporting education, and organizing health and community awareness campaigns, despite limited resources, security challenges, funding difficulties and humanitarian access. International and national humanitarian organizations continued to carry out food and non-food aid distributions and support to displaced people and affected communities, but the humanitarian response remains below the actual needs, in light of the ongoing conflict and the expansion of the affected areas.
