Conflict continues to spread across Sudan, with over three years of war leading to one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.
Almost 19.5 million people face crisis levels of hunger, with some already in catastrophic conditions, and multiple areas at risk of famine.
Sudan also faces a huge displacement crisis, with 9 million people forced from their homes.
The conflict continues to put severe pressure on already scarce resources and threatens to destabilize the entire region unless urgent action is taken to prevent the crisis from spiralling out of control.
The conflict has also pushed the banking sector into a severe crisis, with widespread cash shortages nationwide. Cash-strapped Sudanese are struggling to buy essential items as the inflation rate soars.
Despite funding, insecurity and access constraints,? the Â鶹ÊÓƵ has delivered life-saving food and nutrition assistance in all 18 states since the start of the conflict, including in some of the most hard-to-reach areas across Darfur, Khartoum and Al Jazira.
What Â鶹ÊÓƵ is doing in Sudan
-
Food assistance
-
Â鶹ÊÓƵ provides food assistance as a first lifeline and works to ensure that people affected by shocks have access to food. Vulnerable refugees, internally displaced people, returnees and shock-affected resident communities receive either food or cash, to provide choice. Through Food Assistance for Assets programmes, communities receive food or cash to fill their immediate food gap. In return, community members work on projects including building or restoring infrastructure like roads or schools.
