Sudan is currently in the grip of a catastrophic civil war, with a declared famine and cholera epidemic adding to the urgency. Violent clashes between paramilitary and government forces are threatening the lives of millions. Since April 2023, thousands of Sudanese have lost their lives, and millions more have been injured and displaced. Your donation to the Sudan Emergency Fund will provide immediate relief, including food, water, medicine, and other essential supplies to impacted communities.
Challenge
Sudan was already amid its worst humanitarian crisis since 2011 and the current war, famine, and cholera epidemic is further upending millions of lives. The situation is dire, with fighting between armed groups and forces blocking safe access to basic necessities, threatening lives, and displacing families nationwide. Millions are internally displaced with hundreds of thousands fleeing to Chad, South Sudan, and Ethiopia. Urgent support is vital for communities' survival and recovery in Sudan and surrounding countries.
Solution
A humanitarian ceasefire is imperative. Respect for international humanitarian law, including access to aid and safe passage for civilians, is vital to combat famine, protect lives, and meet urgent needs. Donations to this fund will support emergency relief and mutual aid for Sudanese communities, addressing immediate needs like food, water, shelter, and healthcare through vetted local partners. Over time, the fund will shift focus to long-term recovery efforts led by local organizations.
