A new report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations cited that 95 out of 128 million people forcibly displaced by conflict are living in countries facing food crises.
That means families fleeing conflict or disaster face a new threat: Hunger.
Fleeing for survival and a better life puts families at risk of hunger, in addition to disease outbreaks, dehydration, and violence, which threaten their lives.
Families facing complex challenges like displacement, hunger, and poverty need your support today.
Chip in today to help us meet our $30,000 June fundraising goal to power Mercy Corps’ work for families facing crisis and hunger.

Severe weather, rising cost of living, and lack of water and nutritious food mean families who are away from home are at greater risk of succumbing to malnutrition and hunger. Mercy Corps is on the ground delivering lifesaving aid and life-sustaining support to those who need it most:

In Sudan, 7.7 million people — 57% of the population — face acute malnutrition due to conflict, displacement, and disease. With escalated attacks inside Sudan, civilians’ lives are at greater risk. Mercy Corps is on the ground providing lifesaving aid to families struggling to survive after years of conflict. Since conflict began in 2023, we’ve reached over 1.4 million people across Sudan with humanitarian assistance. |

|
In Ethiopia, there are more than 4.2 million internally displaced people due to conflict and political instability. Extreme floods, heavy rain, and landslides have also driven people out of their homes and cut their access to food. We’re providing vouchers so families can buy fresh produce from local vendors and provide for their families. |

The Democratic Republic of Congo is also facing a displacement crisis, with more than 5.6 million Congolese internally displaced and over 529,000 refugees from neighboring countries such as South Sudan and the Central African Republic. Mercy Corps is improving access to clean and drinking water to ensure families can cook and take care of basic needs. |
|
Your support today can fuel our emergency efforts and enable us to deliver more for families who need it most. Amid violent conflict and other crises, hunger is threatening the lives of young children, mothers, and the elderly. Your help is needed to create an even bigger difference for families worldwide.
Will you consider a gift to make a powerful difference in the lives of families across the globe and help reach our fundraising goal by the end of the month?
Thank you,
The Mercy Corps Team
