Sudan has become one of the world's largest and most ignored man-made tragedies. More than 10 million people have been forced from their homes and famine looms. Mercy Corps is delivering cash aid to displaced people, enabling them to buy essentials like food, water, medicine, and hygiene supplies. To ensure more sustainable long-term recovery, Mercy Corps is supporting smallholder farmers by supplying seeds and agricultural supplies to sow new crops as fields and farms have become war zones.
The war in Sudan has devastated the country. Communities are experiencing unprecedented waves of displacement-10 million+ people fled their homes. Health facilities in war-affected areas have either been looted or have closed without security or supplies. Access to basic necessities like food, shelter, and health services are limited. In just six months, the number of people facing the most catastrophic level of hunger is projected to jump from zero to 755,000 between June and Sept. 2024.
Mercy Corps is actively responding to the crisis in Sudan, delivering much-needed humanitarian assistance to those affected by the ongoing conflict. Our local teams are providing immediate support to displaced communities while laying the groundwork for long-term recovery after the violence ends. Mercy Corps has delivered cash aid to internally displaced people to help more than 12,000 families meet their daily needs.
Since 2004, Mercy Corps has worked in Sudan providing humanitarian support like access to clean water and creating new employment and economic opportunities. We are committed to supporting the people of Sudan through this latest crisis and beyond. Mercy Corps is working with multiple partners to help families in Sudan, and 40+ countries around the world to alleviate suffering, poverty, and oppression by helping people build secure, productive, and just communities.
