Dear John,

I am writing to you with the devastating news that famine has officially been declared in a camp for displaced people in Sudan.

“The warning signs were there for months, now we face the grim reality of famine in Sudan. Such a tragedy for civilians caught in the conflict – many of whom have been displaced multiple times. The brutal war must end, and humanitarians need access to deliver urgently needed aid.”

Mamadou Dian Balde, Regional Refugee Coordinator for the Sudan Situation and Director of the East and Horn of Africa and Great Lakes Region, UNHCR.

For more than a year, the Sudanese people have endured horrific violence as the conflict rages on without resolution. Since April last year, over 10 million people have been displaced within Sudan and beyond its borders – an average of 20,000 people every day. They have faced unspeakable violence, forced to leave their homes, jobs and often their loved ones behind. Now, famine has hit the most vulnerable in Zamzam camp, North Darfur and millions more are at risk of facing famine in the country.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, along with the international community is urging an end to the conflict and immediate humanitarian access to the most affected by this conflict. We are delivering life-saving aid across Sudan and neighbouring countries and providing protection and psychosocial support to people forced to flee.

Your support is crucial. Please join us in providing life-saving aid today. Donate Now.
