Sudan Crisis

Sudan is now the world’s largest displacement crisis.

The conflict in Sudan has reached catastrophic levels, leaving millions of families—especially women and children—without food, shelter, or safety.

In El Fasher, North Darfur, fighting has intensified and humanitarian conditions are dire. Entire neighbourhoods have been destroyed, markets burned, and hospitals forced to close. More than 800,000 civilians are trapped without reliable access to food, water, or medical care.

Across the country, 11 million people have been displaced, making this the world’s largest displacement crisis. Children are going hungry, families are being torn apart, and girls are facing unimaginable risks of violence and exploitation.

The Crisis 

Since hostilities broke out on April 15, 2023, the situation in Sudan has rapidly deteriorated: 

• 11 million people displaced, with over 7.3 million people internally displaced within Sudan. 

• 17.7 million people (37% of the population) are facing high levels of acute food insecurity. 

• In El Fasher alone, tens of thousands of families are living without access to food, water, or safe shelter.

The Impact on Women and Children 

The brunt of this crisis is borne by the most vulnerable, in particular women and children.  

2.9 million children are already acutely malnourished, with 729,000 children under five suffering from severe acute malnutrition, the deadliest form of hunger. 

Women and girls are at increased risk of gender-based violence, including sexual violence, as they struggle to access food and resources. They are often forced to make impossible choices between starvation and safety and reports indicate that women and girls are resorting to survival sex to access food.
