Sudan is one of the poorest countries in Africa with food insecurity at an all-time high, with 11.7 million people (1/4 of the population) enduring hunger. With 3.1 million individuals impacted, Sudan has one of the highest numbers of people in the emergency category of food insecurity.
Over 3 million children under the age of five are malnourished, with 650,000 suffering from severe malnutrition. Over 3.8 million people are internally displaced, with over 418,000 newly displaced in 2022, fleeing conflict and tribal disputes (over 313,000) and floods or fire (105,000).
Sudan is home to about 1.1 million refugees, one of the greatest concentrations in Africa, and nearly all of them require humanitarian help.
Unfortunately, on 15 April 2023, clashes between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces started and still continues in Khartoum. At least 525 people have been killed and over 4,500 injured due to the conflict according to the latest figures from the country’s Health Ministry. Prices of food, fuel, and other basic goods are reportedly skyrocketing, making critical goods unaffordable for many people. Civilians are fleeing areas affected by fighting in increasing numbers, including Chad, Egypt, and South Sudan. A state of emergency has been declared in Khartoum with tens of thousands of people trying to leave Sudan as there is no sign the fighting has eased.
