Sudan’s humanitarian crisis — especially in El Fasher and Kadugli — has reached catastrophic levels. The IPC has confirmed famine in both regions, with many others on the brink, creating one of the world’s worst hunger emergencies.
As violence forces people to flee, suffering deepens: at least 170 unaccompanied children have arrived in Tawila, many too young to identify themselves, their families still missing. More than 200,000 civilians from El Fasher remain unaccounted for, with no confirmed safe refuge or assistance.
Sudan Needs Transparent, Direct Aid Now
Competition between rival branches of the Sudanese security forces has pushed Sudan into a widespread conflict, driving a protracted crisis across the region. Nearly 25 million people are now in urgent humanitarian need, and Sudan has landed at the top of Aseel Foundation’s 2025 Emergency Watchlist.
Conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) broke out on April 15, 2023, ending several years of cooperation between the two forces.
Sudan has a long history of civil war and armed insurgency. Two civil wars spanning decades of the country’s history — the Anyanya Rebellion and the Second Sudanese Civil War — caused mass displacement, injury, and death. As a result, even before April 2023, many Sudanese were displaced within the country due to continued insecurity. In addition, conflict in the neighboring Tigray region of Ethiopia led to the flight of 60,000 refugees into eastern Sudan.
In recent years, extreme weather shocks such as drought and flooding have also devastated livelihoods and forced more people from their homes. Most of Sudan’s population live in rural areas and depend on rain to raise crops and livestock. Swarms of locusts have descended on farmland, destroying harvests and contributing to the rising cost of food.

After 18 months of fighting, humanitarian needs in Sudan have more than doubled, leaving nearly 25 million people in need of assistance. Sudan also faces the world’s largest displacement crisis, with over 11.2 million people forcibly displaced since April 2023, including 8.1 million internally displaced people (IDP).
Sudan is also experiencing one of the worst hunger crises in the world, with a high likelihood of mass starvation in parts of the country. Currently, at least 25.6 million people (more than half of the population) are facing crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity—meaning their lives are at risk from a lack of available, affordable food. This is 10 million more than before the start of the conflict and the highest figure ever recorded in a post-harvest season.
Nearly 5 million people are on the brink of famine, which could lead to mass starvation and death. Nearly 4 million Sudanese children under 5 years old are malnourished, with 700,000 of them experiencing severe acute malnutrition—the most dangerous and deadly form of extreme hunger.
Conflict remains the primary driver of food insecurity and humanitarian suffering in Sudan. It has forced farmers to abandon their lands, disrupted markets, led to massive displacement, impacted people’s earnings, destroyed public services, and restricted access to aid.
As the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance in Sudan continues to grow, and more people are displaced by the ongoing conflict, Aseel Foundation is looking to scale up our current support, add new services — for example, increasing support for women affected by gender-based violence — and expand to other parts of the country.
