Sudan is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis – yet 58% of its funding is still missing.

With famine declared in multiple regions of Sudan and hunger spreading rapidly, lives are at risk – but we’re determined to keep reaching communities every day.

Our teams are on the ground right now working with communities to improve access to clean water, safe sanitation, emergency food support, healthcare and other essential services.

Our teams assisted over 615,000 Sudanese people last year – but aid cuts have already forced us to close multiple health facilities in Sudan this year, leaving families without life-saving support.

Please give what you can today to help us continue reaching children and families in Sudan. Every gift matters.

Emergency aid needed in Sudan

With over 33 million in need of assistance and a massive funding gap, we need to act fast to save lives. Sudanese families urgently need clean water, food and medicine.

Your donation now could help us reach more children and families with life-saving aid as soon as possible.

Water and sanitation

27.1 million people in Sudan need urgent water and sanitation support.

Many families are forced to rely on unsafe surface water and waterborne diseases are spreading rapidly.

73% of funding needed for water, sanitation and hygiene in Sudan is still missing.

Donating £21 now could help provide 5,000 litres of clean water directly to communities in Sudan.

Malnutrition treatment

Over 8 million women and children under 5 need nutrition assistance.

Expected flooding in the next few months will put more women and children at risk of life-threatening malnutrition.

53% of funding needed for healthcare in Sudan is still missing.

Donating £37 now could provide life-saving malnutrition treatment to a Sudanese child in urgent need of healthcare.

Emergency food

Funding cuts have closed 1,400 community kitchens since February.

Families are surviving by using extreme coping strategies including watering down food with unsafe water.

47% of funding needed for food security and livelihoods in Sudan is still missing.

Donating £84 now could deliver emergency food to 100 women and children living through life-threatening hunger in Sudan.

Help protect Sudanese women and girls

Women and girls are some of the worst affected by the conflict in Sudan. 12.7 million women and girls need support related to gender-based violence.

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 can help more women and girls get specialist support now.

How we support communities in Sudan

Despite funding shortfalls and aid being blocked, our teams are still working in Sudan in 2026 helping families access life-saving services.

We’ve worked with communities and local responders in Sudan for over 7 years, delivering essential services in Blue Nile, White Nile, South Kordofan, Red Sea and two other regions.

Last year, we had over 100 staff in Sudan and reached 615,000 people with humanitarian assistance including:

  • Health and nutrition services: 394,546 people assisted
  • Water and sanitation: 221,251 assisted
  • Gender and protection programmes: 71,162 assisted
  • Life-saving malnutrition treatment: 50,485 assisted
  • Food security and cash assistance: 22,294 assisted
  • Mental health support: 21,762 assisted

We want to continue running our services reaching as many Sudanese people as possible, but the impact of aid cuts on these programmes is still uncertain.

Your donation today can help us keep reaching communities in need of support. Every gift matters.
