Over 30 Mln People in Sudan in Need of Humanitarian Aid

Sudan is facing one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises, with more than 30 million people in desperate need of assistance, according to a joint statement issued by several United Nations agencies.

The International Organization for Migration, the UN Refugee Agency, UNICEF, and the World Food Program have called for urgent international attention to the worsening situation in Sudan.

More than 900 days of intense conflict, widespread human rights violations, famine, and the collapse of essential services have pushed millions to the brink of survival, particularly women and children.

Senior officials from the four UN agencies recently visited Sudan, witnessing first-hand the devastating impact of the crisis across the country, including in Darfur, Khartoum, and other conflict-affected areas.

Now in its third year, the conflict has destroyed vital services such as healthcare and education. Famine was officially declared in parts of Sudan last year, and hunger levels remain catastrophic. Children are among the hardest hit, with malnutrition rates rising sharply.

The statement noted that some families have returned to Sudan, driven by a fragile but hopeful desire to rebuild their lives after years of continuous conflict. However, Sudan remains a country in deep crisis.
