The International Blue Crescent (IBC) has launched a flash appeal on Tuesday over Sudan’s worsening humanitarian crisis.
Since conflict erupted between General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in April 2023, the country has plunged into chaos.
What began as a power struggle in Khartoum has spiralled into nationwide devastation.
Over 25 million people—more than half the population—now urgently need humanitarian assistance, according to IBC. The scale of suffering is vast and growing, the report says.
Sudan faces mass internal displacement as civilians flee burned-out towns and villages in search of safety and shelter. Entire communities have been uprooted overnight.
Basic services have collapsed across the country. Hospitals are overwhelmed or destroyed, schools are shut, and clean water is dangerously scarce.
Food insecurity has reached alarming levels. Hunger haunts millions, with children especially vulnerable to malnutrition and preventable disease.
The IBC warns that the rule of law has broken down in many areas, leaving civilians exposed to violence, exploitation, and trauma. Aid workers operate under constant threat.
Despite the scale of the crisis, humanitarian funding remains woefully inadequate. Relief organisations are stretched thin and struggling to reach those in need.
IBC is urging the international community to act swiftly to prevent further collapse. Without immediate support, millions more lives could be lost or irreparably harmed.
