Emergency WASH support in Tawila and El Fasher

Following the RSF takeover of El Fasher in late October 2025, large-scale population movements overwhelmed neighboring localities. UNICEF reports over 600,000 displaced from El Fasher, with 260,000 civilians, including 130,000 children, trapped under active hostilities and severely constrained humanitarian access. Tawila has emerged as the primary destination, hosting approximately 652,079 IDPs across 32 locations—nearly 40% of all IDPs in North Darfur and 7% of Sudan’s total.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe scale and speed of displacement have placed extreme pressure on fragile WASH services. IOM DTM reports 67% of households rely on unimproved water sources, leaving families dependent on surface water (75%) or reducing consumption (50%), heightening vulnerability to waterborne diseases. The December 2025 Tawila WASH Gap Matrix highlights 66% gaps in emergency water supply (projected 88% by February 2026), 51% gaps in sanitation, 54% gaps in access to hygiene items and knowledge, and critically low water quality monitoring, particularly in newly established IDP sites. WASH has been the least funded and implemented sector, compounding public health, protection, and dignity risks for women, children, older persons, and persons with disabilities.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgt The project specifically will increase equitable access to…
