Sudan is experiencing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

In February, two more areas of Sudan reached famine-level food insecurity leaving over 33 million people in need of humanitarian aid in 2026.

Last year, our teams reached  647,228 Sudanese people access clean water, fresh food, healthcare, protection from gender-based violence and other life-saving services.

In Sudan, 24 million people are without water and are having to rely on unsafe water to drink and wash with.

Donating £21 now could help buy a 5,000 litre water tank so Sudanese families have clean water and are protected from waterborne diseases.

Malnutrition treatment: Donate £37

4.2 million children and pregnant and breastfeeding women are facing malnutrition in Sudan - the most deadly form of hunger.

Donating £37 now could provide specialist life-saving malnutrition treatment to a Sudanese child, securing their future and ensuring they get the medical care they need.

Emergency food: Donate £84

Families in Sudan are being forced to use extreme coping strategies to get food, including risking their lives. In 2026, 8.4 million people urgently need food.

Donating £84 now could deliver emergency food to 100 women and children living through hunger.

Help protect women and girls in Sudan

Women and girls are some of the worst affected by the conflict in Sudan. Many are at risk of gender-based violence when trying to access food and other essential services.

We're supporting Sudanese women and girls with gender-sensitive sanitation facilities and mental health support.

A Gender-Based Violence Assistant in Sudan shares:

"Action Against Hunger has Awareness Sessions to inform beneficiaries about their rights.

Psychological support services help individuals cope with the trauma of displacement and the psychological impact of violence."


Your emergency donation to Sudan can help more women and girls get specialist support now.

How to help Sudan

You can help Sudanese families get urgent emergency aid by donating to our Sudan Appeal now.

Your donation will help us continue our work with local partners supporting vulnerable communities  in five areas of Sudan and Sudanese refugees in neighbouring countries like South Sudan and Chad.

Our programmes provide immediate humanitarian aid and strengthen resilience in Sudanese communities.

Despite aid being severely blocked, our teams are still working in Sudan running life-saving services including:

  • emergency food and shelter
  • water, sanitation and hygiene
  • mental health support
  • healthcare and maternal health
  • gender protection for women and girls at risk of gender-based violence
  • food security and livelihood programmes

With the impact of aid cuts still uncertain, it’s essential we secure enough donations to keep running our lifesaving programmes in Sudan. Please donate to help families and children in Sudan.

Donate to Sudan Appeal

Across Sudan, 14 million people have lost their homes.

Homes, hospitals, and food markets have been destroyed. And with aid severely blocked, Sudanese families are without essential supplies – and food insecurity is increasing at a dangerous rate.

You can help people affected by conflict in Sudan access emergency aid like food, water and hygiene support.

Out of every £1 you donate, we spend 94p on charitable activities and 6p on support costs.

The humanitarian crisis in Sudan

Conflict has been escalating in Sudan since April 2023.

And now there are over 9.6 million displaced people. 21 million people don't have enough food to eat. Famine has been declared in two regions in Sudan and more regions are at risk.

Armed violence and economic crisis have gutted Sudan’s services, with less than 20% of healthcare facilities left. And emergency aid is severely restricted.

Your support can help us reach more families living through the crisis with humanitarian aid including food, water and medical care.
