Sudan is experiencing the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
And more violence is now spiralling in El Fasher in North Darfur, where 260,000 people are trapped without food, water, or medical care.
Homes, hospitals, and markets have been destroyed. And with aid severely blocked, Sudanese families are without life-saving supplies.
Across Sudan:
Last year, our teams supported 500,000 Sudanese people with emergency aid. Your donation now can help us get more families the urgent aid they need to survive – most people give an average of £50.36.

Over 60% of water treatment facilities in Sudan are out of service, leaving 24 million people without water. Lack of clean water is driving a cholera outbreak across Sudan.
Just £21 could help buy a 5,000 litre water tank so Sudanese families have clean water to drink and wash with, keeping them safe from waterborne diseases.
The October rainy season in Sudan is expected to drive up malnutrition in pregnant women and children. Over 3.2 million children under five are at risk of extreme hunger. And malnutrition rates in El Fasher have hit 38%.
Just £37 could provide specialist malnutrition treatment for a hungry Sudanese child, securing their future.
Foreign aid cuts have impacted critical food security programmes in Sudan. Over 21 million people are going hungry, with almost 80% of community kitchens that provide emergency help closing due to lack of funding.
Just £84 could deliver food to 100 women and children living through hunger.
Conflict has been escalating in Sudan since April 2023.
And now over 9.6 million people have been internally displaced, over 4 million people have been forced to leave the country and 21 million people don't have enough food to eat.
Famine - the worst form of hunger - is present in five regions of Sudan. 20 other regions, including across Great Darfur, are at risk of famine, according to the latest IPC data.
Armed violence and economic crisis have gutted Sudan’s services, with less than 20% of healthcare facilities left. And emergency aid is severely restricted.
Samy Guessabi, Country Director of Action Against Hunger, Sudan, said:
“El Fasher and Kadugli in Sudan are under siege, with no access to food, water or medical care. Families are eating boiled leaves.”
Your support is essential to reach more families living through the crisis with emergency aid including food, water and medical care.
