Sudan Crisis - Emergency Response
Sudan is facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Since violent conflict erupted in April 2023 tens of thousands of people have been killed, more than 14 million have been displaced, and over half the population now faces acute food insecurity.
In Darfur—especially El Fasher (North Darfur)—the situation has deteriorated sharply. Recent reports highlight ethnically-motivated mass killings, summary executions, and the destruction of hospitals and displacement camps. A maternity hospital was attacked, resulting in the killing of hundreds of patients and companions.
Healthcare access is collapsing. Hospitals have been bombed, looted, or occupied. Medical workers are being kidnapped, and displacement camps are under attack. This violence has left families already facing famine-level hunger without access to lifesaving care.
