Sudan: Urgent & Immediate Action Needed
Sudan’s crisis, which began on April 15, 2023, has grown into one of the world’s most severe humanitarian emergencies. Communities across the country are grappling with massive displacement, widespread hunger, and the collapse of essential services.
Since April 2023:
28,700+ civilians estimated lost (with real numbers likely underreported)
11.7 million people displaced, including 4.2 million who’ve fled to neighboring countries
53% of those displaced are children
25+ million in need of aid, including 9 million facing food insecurity

A Nation Displaced & Starving
Cholera Outbreaks Spreading Rapidly
Healthcare In Ruins
- 70% of health facilities are no longer functioning
- Operational hospitals are overwhelmed and under-resourced
- People are unable to access treatment for basic injuries or preventable diseases
- Mental health services remain extremely limited
The economic situation in Sudan is also at an all-time low, after numerous natural disasters such as droughts and the most recent floods in 2021. They already suffering from one of the world’s biggest humanitarian crises, with almost 16 million people in need of aid. An economic collapse and rampant inflation have left many people unable to get enough food. Sudan has one of the world’s highest rates of child malnutrition, with more than 3 million children malnourished and the number is increasing.
There are limited food resources within the country, where a third of its 46 million population are already reliant on humanitarian aid. If the violence continues, millions more will be forced into hunger.
With the ongoing conflict, people are fearing for their lives which has heavily impacted the health sector. 70 of 86 hospitals in the current conflict zones have ceased operations according to the Sudan Doctors Union.
This has had a ripple effect on the citizens who are fleeing to neighboring countries such as Egypt, Chad, South Sudan, Ethiopia & the Central African Republic.
If the fighting continues, the UN predicts that as many as 500,000 people would flee.
Amoud Foundation is working to aid these vast numbers of Sudanese refugees by providing them with temporary shelter, food & medical aid during these difficult times.
Experts report that hundreds of people have been killed, thousands have been wounded, and families are trapped in their homes without food and water. Heavy fighting continues throughout residential areas and close to hospitals.
The Human Cost: A Crisis Beyond Imagination
In El Fasher, entire neighborhoods have been destroyed. Families have lost their homes and all sense of safety.
Since late October, nearly 90,000 people have had to flee El Fasher and nearby villages in North Darfur. Conditions in and around the region remain dire.
Many families are sheltering in overcrowded camps, hospitals, or open fields, facing cold nights and extreme daytime heat with little to no resources. Reports indicate growing mental health needs among those arriving in Golo town, particularly women and children showing signs of trauma and distress.
Food insecurity is rapidly worsening. Children are succumbing to hunger in homes, towns, and displacement camps.
The conflict has caused a severe shortage of medical aid, with only few hospitals providing care for 3-4 million people in Omdurman-Khartoum.
Amoud Foundation is providing urgent medical aid to those affected by the crisis. However, we need your support to ensure that essential medical care continues to be provided.

“The fighting is [ongoing] and we can hear bullets and bombing all around us. Buildings are on fire and smoke fills the sky. People are trapped in their homes and scared about what is going to happen in the coming days. Life is paralyzed, everything is closed and food supplies are running out.
Many of the poorest people [already] don’t have [enough] food, they buy whatever little they can afford each day – and now they can’t even do that. Already critical levels of hunger in the country are now set to get even worse. Millions of people will need aid.”
