East Darfur, South Darfur (Nyala), North Darfur (El Fasher), West Darfur (El Geneina)
The hostilities in Al-Fasher between the joint forces of the Juba agreement and SAF from one side and RSF from the other, along with artillery shells in ZamZam IDP camp since October 2024 and still ongoing, have led to wide displacement of population from Al-Fasher to different areas within North and Central Darfur States.2
An estimated 406,265 individuals (81,252 households) were displaced from Zamzam IDP camp between 13 and 14 April 2025. DTM field teams estimated that approximately 81 per cent of the households previously recorded at Zamzam IDP camp were displaced again following the heightened insecurity in April 2025. As of 27 April 2025, IDPs displaced from Zamzam IDP camp were recorded across 19 localities in four states across the Darfur region. IDPs displaced from Zamzam were primarily displaced to locations within North Darfur state (97%), as well as to locations across Central Darfur (2%), South Darfur (<1%), and East Darfur (<1%) states. The same report suggests that Tawila currently hosts 60,660 households from among the 81,252 households displaced.
The project aims to reach a total of 1310 HHs crisis-affected individuals with shelter and settlements support, 2 IDPs gathering sites across Tawila Locality in North Darfur, supporting IDPs who were displaced in April from Zamzam camp. The response has been coordinated with DCES – partner under the RRF which planson distributing 450 ES kits in Tawila,and the ESNFI Darfur Cluster Coordination mechanism.
To ensure accountability to affected populations (AAP), and to mitigate any risks of harm and abuse that the above groups may face as a result of the displacement and/or project activities, ARC will use existing complaints and feedback mechanisms (CFMs) to ensure that interventions are conflict- and gender-sensitive, inclusive, and follow protection and other humanitarian principles.
