More than 9 million people have been forced from their homes internally and into neighbouring countries.
We must act now.
Sudan has been suffering from protracted fighting for over a year. The violence has spread across the country and led to millions of people being forced from their homes, along with thousands of injuries and deaths.
Damage to infrastructure has impacted access to food, water and healthcare services. Sudan now teeters on the edge of famine.
Sudan has traditionally hosted for refugees from neighbouring countries. Important aid work has been happening in refugee camps for many years with limited resources. The conflict has put pressure on these already scarce resources, resulting in many people facing a lack of water, sanitation, food, shelter and safety.
There is an urgent need for humanitarian assistance for people displaced within Sudan and in neighbouring countries.
We must act now.
