Speak up for the people of Sudan

The crisis in Sudan is deepening

Since the civil war began in April 2023, Sudan has been plunged into growing humanitarian need and the largest displacement crisis in the world today.

The needs are urgent:

• Millions of people have been forced to flee their homes to escape violence.
• Hunger is rising, and malnutrition has reached famine level in some regions.
• Ongoing conflict is affecting food production and supply chains.
• Access to safe water, shelter and basic healthcare is extremely limited.
• Aid delivery is made difficult by blocked roads and attacks on humanitarian aid workers.
• Women and children are among the most affected, and more than half of those displaced are children.

Sudan's crisis is not just continuing; it's deepening. We serve a God of justice and mercy, and we must use our voices to pray and demand action.

We can stand with our global neighbours in Sudan by calling on the UK Government to push for a ceasefire and increase aid funding.

How Tearfund is responding

Working through local partners, Tearfund has provided vital support to almost 1,300 households in East Darfur, but the need is increasing day by day.

Dialnor’s story of survival

In East Darfur, 55-year-old Dialnor lives with his children and their grandmother. Their family has faced unbearable hardship. Not long ago, his wife Miriam fell sick with cholera, and tragically passed away. Shortly afterwards, the ongoing violence in Sudan brought more tragedy. A bomb that fell near Dialnor’s farm killed his eldest son, and also killed the donkey he relied on to farm and earn an income.

Tearfund’s partner stepped in to provide Dialnor with cash support to buy essentials. He was able to buy wheat, split beans, sugar, oil, and onions – basic food items that allowed him to feed his children.

Dialnor told us that the aid arrived at the most critical moment, when hunger was at its worst and the family was on the brink of starvation.

For Dialnor, this support was not just financial relief –it was a lifeline that helped his family survive against overwhelming odds. But so many more families like his are at breaking point.

We must demand that the UK Government take action.
