Country: Sudan Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached file. Between 26 and 28 July 2026, a joint inter-agency team comprising humanitarian organisations, coordination actors and four line ministries conducted an Inter-Agency Rapid Needs Assessment (IRNA) across 13 displacement sites and neighbourhoods in Ag Geneina locality. The mission was authorised by SARHO, West Darfur, and coordinated through OCHA and the ABC mechanism. Of 542 submitted interviews, 536 met consent and usability criteria and form the analysis dataset. Assessed households were predominantly internally displaced (76.3%; 409/536), alongside permanent residents (13.6%), returnees (8.8%) and seasonal returnees (1.3%). Conflict or insecurity at origin was the main reported driver (88.4%), and 60 households linked their displacement to El Fasher. Needs were severe and multi-sectoral: 93.5% (501/536) could not fully meet basic needs, mainly because of insufficient money (95.4% of 501) and high prices (72.3%). Food was the most frequently selected priority (89.7% of 534), and 56.7% (304/536) reported a severe food shortage or days without food in the previous week. Service constraints were also widespread. Water was insufficient for 54.3% (291/536); 82.3% (441/536) reported at least one serious shelter problem; and 70.3% (377/536) had only partial or no access to health care. Among households with school-age children, 53.0% (185/349) reported no girls attending and 52.7% (167/317) reported no boys attending. Protection and accountability findings require targeted follow-up: 18.8% (101/536) felt unsafe most or all of the time, 61.4% (329/536) lacked at least one civil document, and 39.7% (213/536) reported no assistance in the previous six months. Among assistance recipients, 92.0% (297/323) considered support inadequate or only partially adequate. Indicative location patterns point to multi-sector response priorities at Kaja Schools Complex, Um Dwawiyn School, the Medical Facility/Hospital site, Krinding 1 and 2, and Ardamata. Results describe assessed households only: sampling was purposive, location samples vary, and findings must not be extrapolated to the locality population.

Follow the day’s news live Get our breaking news email , free app or daily news podcast Anthony Albanese has told the UN general assembly that “retaining sovereignty must have a digital dimension” as he spruiked his teen social media ban, opt out algorithm and AI statement. In a speech to the coalition for children’s rights and protections in the age of AI, in New York, the prime minister said Australian parents were legally empowered by the digital safety reform. The conversations they have had together confirm the common concerns they have about their children, that social media is robbing them of their childhood, addicting them to algorithms [and] encouraging anxieties, eating disorders and other harms. Put simply, we must give children back their childhood. In this digital age, retaining sovereignty must have a digital dimension. The use of the world artificial makes intelligence sound fake. It is not fake, it’s actually amazing, The United States also totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control the artificial intelligence being spoken of. Continue reading...
