Dear friend,
Next week will mark two years of intense and unrelenting conflict in Sudan.
Nearly 12 million people have been forced to flee their homes — half of them children — while more than 25 million people now face crisis levels of hunger. Sudan is one of the worst hunger crises of the 21st century.
Two years in and there is no end in sight to the conflict. Meanwhile, foreign aid cuts are exacerbating the intense humanitarian need. Mercy Corps CEO Tjada D’Oyen McKenna says, "In the face of this urgent suffering, the world has looked away. International donors are cutting aid while needs are spiraling, and local responders are forced to shut down communal kitchens and life-saving services because they simply have no resources left."
Take a moment to read the full Sudan Crisis Update about the two-year conflict in Sudan.
Mercy Corps is on the ground meeting the needs of the Sundanese people trapped in this crisis. We’re providing life-sustaining aid, including emergency cash assistance, food, clean water, shelter, and nutrition services for families caught in the conflict.
Mercy Corps is supplying farmers in Sudan with fertilizer and seeds as they hope for a strong growing season and subsequent harvest.
To support communities in coping with the crisis and ensure they are able to recover after the violence ends, we are:
 |
 |
Providing emergency cash assistance for nearly 100,000 people so that they can buy essentials like food, water, medicine, hygiene supplies, and other items that meet their individual needs. |
| |
| |
|
Supporting over 76,000 smallholder farmers by providing high-quality seeds to ensure they can plant in time for the upcoming rainy season. |
| |
| |
|
Working in collaboration with Sudan’s Ministry of Health to prevent malnutrition among young children, including operating nutrition sites, screening children under five for malnutrition, providing nutritional supplements, referring severe cases for treatment, and training caregivers on healthy infant and young child feeding services. |
With support from people like you, Mercy Corps is able to meet the needs of families facing incredible challenges in war- and hunger-stricken countries like Sudan and many others.
