The UN and partners are seeking $6 billion to aid 26 million people amid Sudan’s deepening crisis. With famine worsening and 12 million displaced, urgent support is needed to deliver food, shelter, and medical aid.
The UN and its partners have launched the 2025 humanitarian and refugee response plans for Sudan, seeking $6 billion to aid nearly 26 million people affected by nearly two years of conflict.
The crisis has displaced 12 million people within Sudan and across borders, with famine conditions worsening and two-thirds of the population in urgent need of assistance.
