Sudan: Complex emergency

Since fighting erupted in Sudan, millions of people have been displaced or stranded without access to food, clean water, or healthcare, and the crisis is deepening by the day. The Sudan Red Crescent Society is delivering lifesaving first aid, emergency relief, and support to displaced families across the country — but they need more resources to reach everyone in need.

Sudanese Red Crescent Society volunteers distribute food to people in Khartoum who have been affected by the ongoing conflict in the country in late May 2023.
