Two years ago today, extreme violence broke out across Sudan and a hunger crisis exploded. So far, nearly 12 million people have been forcibly displaced while two-thirds of the population has fallen into dire need of humanitarian assistance. The needs of the Sudanese people continue to increase while the conflict appears to have no end in sight. Sudan cannot afford another year of inaction — the world must act now to ensure that innocent civilians and children do not perish. Today, we’re asking you to do your part by making a gift to help deliver lifesaving and life-sustaining aid like food, water, and shelter to families in dire need in Sudan and around the globe.

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.
