AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoWater & Livelihoods: In El Salha south of Omdurman, Nile retreat has left the main water station idle, stranding pumps above the waterline and forcing thousands to buy barrel water at up to SDG10,000 or use brackish wells; authorities are excavating a new channel to reconnect the intake and are gradually restarting pumping to nearby villages. Food Security: FEWS NET warns up to 23 million people could face acute hunger in 2026, with emergency conditions (IPC Phase 4) spreading across Darfur, Kordofan and parts of central/southern Sudan, and a real risk of famine in several North Darfur and Kordofan areas if fighting or sieges intensify. Sanctions & Environment: The EU has banned gold purchases, imports and transfers from Sudan and restricted mercury and cyanide exports used in gold mining—aimed at cutting conflict-linked war finance and the extraction pipeline. Humanitarian Access: A report highlights how Sudan’s aid delivery is slowed by paperwork and compliance barriers, turning administration into a “silent weapon” that delays life-saving assistance. Health & Resilience: UN/WHO data flags 13.5 million “zero-dose” children missing routine vaccines, a risk that could worsen outbreaks and undermine recovery in fragile settings.
