Help families survive conflict, starvation and disease. Donate to Sudan now.
The people of Sudan are trapped in the world's largest humanitarian crisis.
Sudan has endured almost three years of horrific war. Families are running for their lives as violence tears through their communities. At the same time, famine is tightening its deadly grip.
In camps and settlements, many refugees have no choice but to sleep out in the open. Clean water is dwindling. Doctors are overwhelmed.
Women and girls are at the forefront of this emergency. They have been killed, abducted, and subjected to horrific sexual violence. Hospitals have been looted and destroyed, leaving pregnant women to give birth on the streets.
UNHCR is on the ground right now, saving lives and delivering emergency aid. But the situation is unbearable. Please give generously – the people of Sudan need you.
After fleeing Sudan, Monira is now living in a refugee camp in neighbouring Chad, where she struggles to find clean water.
Devastating conflict is forcing families to flee for their lives, with 12 million people now displaced. While most have remained within Sudan, around four million have fled to neighbouring countries such as Chad and South Sudan.
Displaced families are facing extreme violence and grave human rights violations as they flee. Some refugees are walking for days under the scorching sun to find safety. They are arriving malnourished, sick and in urgent need of aid.
Many others remain trapped, desperate for a reprieve from the conflict. In places like North Darfur, there are widespread reports of executions, sexual violence against women and girls, and targeted attacks on people with disabilities.
UNHCR and its partners are working non-stop to assist new arrivals and provide emergency shelter and necessities, but the need is only growing.

Sex slavery, trafficking and forced marriage are becoming more widespread – with devastating, life-long consequences.
When food is scarce, women and girls are the first to go hungry. They eat last and eat least. Some have resorted to surviving on animal feed or wild leaves and berries.

In April 2023, fighting broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Since then, around 12 million people have been displaced. While most are displaced within Sudan, over four million have escaped to neighbouring countries such as South Sudan and Chad. They are arriving at border crossings with little more than the clothes on their backs and urgently need safety and protection.
Since the start of the conflict, homes, schools and hospitals have come under attack, amid extensive looting and burning. The health system is rapidly deteriorating. Clinics are struggling to cope with a life-threatening shortage of staff and supplies.
Famine has been officially confirmed in parts of the country, while millions more are on the brink and face acute food insecurity.
