The initiative involves the military’s reclaiming of Sennar, Gezira, and Khartoum states, leading to a 21% reduction in the overall number of people displaced, compared to the highest figure of 11.5 million documented in January 2025.

Nevertheless, the report points out a major demographic challenge, indicating that 55% of internally displaced individuals (IDPs) and 52% of those who have returned are children.

Approximately 2,915,306 people have gone back to their homes after being internally displaced, and 585,176 individuals have returned from outside Sudan, as stated by the IOM.

The Darfur area still holds the largest number of internally displaced people, making up 62% of the country’s total of 9,139,309 IDPs.

The increase in these regions is due to changing battlefronts, the further displacement of people who had already left their homes, and the ongoing absence of essential services in war-torn areas.

The demographic effect continues to be significant, as children below the age of 18 make up 55% of the overall displaced population in these regions.

The report mentioned that 58% of the displaced individuals reside in urban regions. Nearly 40% are hosted by family members, whereas 27% inhabit informal settlements or open spaces, 19% are in structured camps, and the remaining portion are in schools or rented accommodations.

In regions like the Red Sea and Kassala, the rise in population is putting pressure on local resources and host families, who serve as the main support system for those forced to leave their homes.
