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.
OCHA chief Tom Fletcher described Sudan as a "humanitarian emergency of shocking proportions," highlighting famine, violence, and the suffering of children. UN refugee chief Filippo Grandi emphasized the strain on neighboring countries welcoming refugees and called for immediate global support to sustain aid efforts and restore peace.
Famine has been reported in at least five areas, including Darfur and the Nuba Mountains, with hunger expected to worsen by May. The Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan aims to provide aid to 21 million people, requiring $4.2 billion.
Meanwhile, the Regional Refugee Response Plan seeks $1.8 billion to support 4.8 million refugees in seven neighboring countries and help stabilize host communities.
Without urgent funding, millions may face food insecurity, children could lose access to education, and health systems risk collapse. In 2024, humanitarian organizations provided aid to 15.6 million people with $1.8 billion in support, delivering food, health, and shelter assistance.
