Sudan Emergency Appeal

Sudan is on the brink of collapse. Ongoing conflict has forced millions to flee their homes, with families now facing hunger, displacement, and no access to medical care. Children are malnourished, water is scarce, and basic survival is a daily struggle. Your Sadaqah and Zakat can provide urgent food, shelter, and survival aid.

How can you donate to the Sudan Emergency Appeal and help Sudanese families right now?

Families in Sudan are facing hunger, fear, and deep uncertainty. Many have lost their homes. Some can no longer afford food or medicine. Others are simply waiting, hoping that help will reach them in time.

By donating to HCR’s Sudan Emergency Appeal, you can send urgent relief — including food, clean water, essential supplies, and financial support for medical emergencies.

Every pound makes a real difference. And with our 100% Zakat Policy, every penny goes directly to those in need.

What’s happening in Sudan, and how can I help?

Across Sudan, ordinary families have been living through nearly two years of conflict, hunger, and displacement. What began as a political clash has turned into a national catastrophe. Life-saving systems have collapsed, violence continues in major regions, and hunger has reached levels the world can no longer ignore.

Here is the heartbreaking reality:

]
Over 26 million people face extreme hunger, with many on the edge of starvation as food supplies run dangerously low.
]
More than 30 million people, including 15 million children, now need humanitarian assistance, nearly triple the number from the beginning of the conflict (UNICEF).
]
11.9 million Sudanese have been forced to flee their homes, making this one of the largest displacement crises globally.
]
4.2 million people, mostly women and children, have crossed into neighbouring countries such as Egypt and Chad, seeking safety.
]
In parts of North Darfur and the Nuba Mountains, famine has already been confirmed.
]
Over 80% of healthcare facilities have shut down, leaving communities without basic medical care.
]
Flooding and heavy rains throughout 2025 have impacted more than 600,000 people, pushing 172,000 more into displacement.
]
In Al Fasher, more than 130,000 children have been trapped for over 500 days with almost no access to food, clean water, or protection from violence.

This is why your support matters.
