July 2026 was marked by an escalation in the impact of armed conflict on the civilian environment in Sudan, with the Kordofan region, particularly North Kordofan State, emerging as a major center of military and humanitarian escalation, in addition to the Blue Nile region.
Politically, the political process remained stagnant despite the ongoing international and regional efforts related to the Sudanese crisis, without achieving tangible progress towards a ceasefire or a political settlement.
Domestically, security pressures continued to affect civilian activity in several areas, especially in states under tight security measures.
In the area of human rights and the civilian protection, the most significant violations were concentrated in North Kordofan State, particularly in the localities of Al-Rahad, Jabra Al-Sheikh, Sodari, Bara, and West Bara, where drone attacks and shelling resulted in the killing and wounding of large numbers of civilians and damage to schools, health centers, and water sources.
Economically, pressures on markets and supplies continued in most states, with clear disparities between regions. Socially, the effects of the war on local communities continued, especially in areas of displacement and host communities. States such as Al-Qadarif, River Nile, Blue Nile, and Darfur witnessed increasing pressure on resources and services due to the influx of displaced persons, despite the continuation of limited community initiatives in the areas of food support, basic services, and social cohesion.
In health sector, the most significant challenges were concentrated in Blue Nile, North Kordofan, South Darfur, and Khartoum, where outbreaks of seasonal epidemic diseases, particularly dengue fever, cholera, and malaria, were recorded, along with shortages of medicines and the limited capacity of health facilities.
In education, the situation varied across the states. River Nile and White Nile maintained relative stability, while Kassala, Khartoum, and South Darfur faced challenges related to funding, staff shortages, damage to educational institutions, and efforts to reopen universities and schools affected by the war.
The developments of July 2026 reflect the fact that the conflict has become more geographically intertwined, with the nature of the risks differing between areas of direct military escalation, areas of displacement and host communities, and areas suffering from declining services.
