Sudan Emergency

Violence has engulfed Sudan, displacing millions and leaving cities, homes and lives in ruins.

Since April 2023, over 5 million people have been uprooted, forced to flee to relatives’ homes, temporary camps where conditions are abysmal, or across borders where life is not any easier.

The number of dead is reported to be anywhere between 4,000 and 10,000 according to reports from Amnesty International, however, the actual number is thought to be far higher given areas of Khartoum and parts of Darfur are completely inaccessible.

Millions of people across the country are experiencing acute hunger, while diseases such as malaria and measles are rife. The health system is on the verge of collapse, alongside unprecedented food insecurity, malnutrition and displacement has left nearly 25 million people (half the population of Sudan) in urgent need of help.

Islamic Relief’s humanitarian response has also consisted of:

• Distributing medicine to 16 hospitals and 6 medical clinics.
• Providing 1,425 women and girls with dignity kits.
• Cash assistance to 2,861 households (19,292 people).
• Supporting local farmers with their livelihoods and supplying high quality, durable seeds to more than 100,000 farmers.
