As violations and community displacement continue across Sudan, Habila locality in South Kordofan State came under heavy military attack on Thursday, January 15th, 2026. Since then, the situation for civilians has rapidly deteriorated.
As human right violation continues in Habila South Kordofan, large numbers of civilians are fleeing southward in search of safety. Families are walking for days, carrying children on their backs. . These losses have left entire communities without any means of survival.
Parents are struggling to protect their children while carrying the pain and grief of losing family members, homes, and livelihoods. Children are sleeping hungry, with little or no food, and many are becoming malnourished and emotionally distressed.
Living conditions for displaced civilians are extremely harsh. Most people are sleeping in open spaces, under trees, or on mountains without proper clothing or shelter. There is no access to safe drinking water or food supplies, forcing families to survive on tree leaves and wild grass. Malnutrition is becoming a serious concern, particularly among children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
Healthcare services are largely unavailable. There are no health organizations operating in areas where displaced families have gathered. Psychological and trauma support services are also absent, despite the severe emotional impact of violence, displacement, and repeated loss.
What is happening in Habila is not only a humanitarian crisis, but also a crisis of protection and dignity. Civilians are paying the highest price for a war they did not choose. Many displaced families tell us they feel forgotten, unsure whether anyone sees their suffering or hears their voices.
Without urgent intervention, the situation will continue to worsen, leading to preventable hunger, illness, and loss of life.
We call on humanitarian organizations, donors, and international actors to urgently prioritize South Kordofan and provide emergency food assistance and medical services, and psychosocial support for survivors in South Kordofan.
At Trauma Rescue Aid, we stand with the displaced people of Habila south Kordofan. We remain committed to documenting and advocating for their protection, and supporting community-based responses that restore dignity and hope, even in the darkest moments.
