Sudan is now witnessing the world’s largest internal displacement crisis with over 11 million people displaced, with children comprising over half of the displaced population (UNHCR). In late 2024, offensives by the armed groups resulted in territorial gains but were marked by atrocities, including massacres in Gezira State that claimed over 300 lives. The war has crippled Sudan’s economy, leaving nearly 26 million people acutely food insecure.

Famine conditions have been reported in North Darfur’s Zamzam camp and other conflict-affected areas, including South Darfur, South Kordofan, West Darfur, West Kordofan, Al Jazirah and Khartoum, which are classified as IPC Phase 5 (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification), marked by starvation, malnutrition, and mortality (UNICEF). Over 30% of children in some regions suffer from severe malnutrition, while less than 25% of health facilities remain operational (WHO).

Disease outbreaks such as cholera and measles are escalating, and women and girls face increased risks of violence and exploitation.  With two-thirds of the population requiring urgent assistance, immediate action and global engagement are critical.

Relief International staff are providing vital services in Sudan, South Sudan and Chad. In Sudan, our teams are continuing to provide emergency healthcare in more than 40 clinics. These facilities ensure people in these areas have access to much needed primary and secondary healthcare consultations, antenatal care, vaccinations and malnutrition services.

In South Sudan, our teams are providing healthcare and nutritional services in three counties. Our mobile medical teams rushed to the border with Sudan as soon as the conflict began, where they have been providing emergency medical services to people crossing the border and those stranded at transit sites ever since. Moreover, as more refugees are now being transported to refugee camps in the country, we are expanding our healthcare capacity at these camps to be able to cope with the increased number of people.

In Chad, we are working closely with authorities and other humanitarian actors to organize and deploy our teams to the new refugee camps being set up there so we can start providing healthcare services to the increasing number of people crossing the border every day.

All of this is only possible with your help.

We have hundreds of staff on the ground providing services to the people most impacted by the violence in Sudan.

Without help from our donors, none of this would be possible.
