Since April 2023, Sudan has been experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis due to the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with 30.4 million people in need of assistance.

Over 12.8 million people have been displaced, making Sudan the largest internal displacement crisis globally. Food insecurity remains rampant, and malnutrition rates exceed emergency thresholds. Famine was confirmed in August 2024 in Zamzam IDP camp and has now spread to 10 areas in total.

Since 2018, Action Against Hunger has delivered lifesaving and resilience-building programmes across the Blue Nile, Central Darfur, Red Sea, South Kordofan, and White Nile states. Working in both accessible and hard-to-reach areas, we reached 753,246 people in 2024 through integrated interventions.

In the nutrition and health sector, 36,636 children were treated for acute malnutrition, while 276,877 people received essential healthcare services. Food Security and Livelihoods programmes provided 16,630 households with cash assistance and helped 3,304 households with agricultural inputs. In the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene sector, 32,490 individuals gained access to clean water, and 206 people received hygiene training to prevent disease outbreaks. The cross-border response established logistics hubs in Chad and South Sudan to facilitate delivery of aid to hard-to-reach areas.
