Sudan Appeal

Violence and conflict has been tearing Sudan apart since April 2023, creating the world’s biggest humanitarian catastrophe.

Fierce fighting and global funding cuts are pushing more families into starvation, particularly in the vast states of Darfur and Kordofan. In the Darfur city of El Fasher, horrific reports of mass killings and suffering continue, as fighting has intensified.

Civilians have endured prolonged sieges that have cut off all aid. Homes, hospitals, schools and mosques have been repeatedly bombed.

Many families in the city are now starving as supplies of food and medicine have run out, but humanitarian aid continues to be blocked.

A country in crisis

With the war spreading across Sudan, it is now the largest displacement crisis on earth. The armed conflict has displaced an estimated 15 million people, 53% of whom are children. Many are living in temporary camps where conditions are abysmal.

Famine is spreading fast across Sudan and desperate families face a daily struggle to get food as young children starve to death in cities, villages and displacement camps

Around 28,700 people are estimated to have been killed, but the real death toll is likely to be much higher as fatalities are believed to be underreported. The death toll from hunger, disease and lack of basic services could rise far higher.
