Despite repeated ceasefire agreements between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), fighting continues unabated, creating a relentless churn of violence that has plunged Sudan and the wider region into an atrocious humanitarian crisis.

Major urban centers, including Khartoum, Omdurman, and Al Fasher, have experienced intense fighting, resulting in over 20,000 civilian deaths since the conflict began.

Sudan is now witnessing the world’s largest internal displacement crisis with over 8 million people displaced in total.

The humanitarian situation in Sudan is worsening, with civilians trapped, hospitals under attack, and critical shortages of food and medicine. Incidents of criminality are on the rise making it unsafe for households to venture outside. And, in Khartoum and other areas around the country, violent conflict continues with thousands dead and thousands more injured.

UNHCR estimates over 650,000 refugees/returnees have already arrived in South Sudan and 640,000 have arrived in Chad. The majority of these new arrivals are women and children. Many have arrived after running for their lives, suffering from psychological trauma, owning nothing, and in need of urgent care and shelter.

There are major gaps in food, shelter, WASH facilities, and other basic services at transit sites and refugee camps in both South Sudan and Chad, straining the ability of the humanitarian community to provide essential assistance.

Relief International staff are providing vital services in Sudan, South Sudan and Chad. In Sudan, our teams are continuing to provide emergency healthcare in more than 40 clinics. These facilities ensure people in these areas have access to much needed primary and secondary healthcare consultations, antenatal care, vaccinations and malnutrition services.

In South Sudan, our teams are providing healthcare and nutritional services in three counties. Our mobile medical teams rushed to the border with Sudan as soon as the conflict began, where they have been providing emergency medical services to people crossing the border and those stranded at transit sites ever since. Moreover, as more refugees are now being transported to refugee camps in the country, we are expanding our healthcare capacity at these camps to be able to cope with the increased number of people.

In Chad, we are working closely with authorities and other humanitarian actors to organize and deploy our teams to the new refugee camps being set up there so we can start providing healthcare services to the increasing number of people crossing the border every day.

All of this is only possible with your help.

We have hundreds of staff on the ground providing services to the people most impacted by the violence in Sudan.

Without help from our donors, none of this would be possible.
