Famine is now taking hold in parts
of Sudan, including the Darfur city of El Fasher and Kadugli in South
Kordofan, according to the latest United Nations-backed report.

More than 375,000 are now on the brink of starvation, while 21 million
people across Sudan face high levels of acute food insecurity.

After months of escalating violence, these findings continue to confirm
that the war in Sudan is unleashing a catastrophe of staggering scale,
with millions trapped without food, safety, or access to aid as conditions
deteriorate across Darfur and Kordofan.

In El Fasher, violence is spiraling. After more than 500 days under siege,
the city has now fallen. Civilians who had already been surviving on
animal hides, wild plants, and livestock feed now face an even more
desperate fight for their lives amid reports of killings, abductions, and
mass displacement.

Mercy Corps is actively responding to urgent needs in Kordofan, Central,
and South Darfur to meet the anticipated influx of displaced people
fleeing El Fasher and surrounding areas.

Mercy Corps is providing cash and voucher assistance to displaced
families, helping farmers increase food production, and supporting local
markets. We’re also partnering with local responders to deliver lifesaving
aid and strengthen community resilience.

In just days, more than 70,000 people of the estimated 250,000 still
trapped in the city have fled El-Fasher and the surrounding villages. Yet
only around 3,400 have reached Tawila, the main destination for those
fleeing, leaving tens of thousands unaccounted for and prompting grave
concern among humanitarian responders and human rights groups.

Access also remains a critical barrier to delivering aid to affected
families. Mercy Corps continues to demand full, unimpeded humanitarian
access in El Fasher, across Darfur, Kordofan, and all conflict-affected
areas of Sudan.

Malaku Yirga, Mercy Corps Vice President, African Region, issued the
following statement:


"We must not look away from the horrors unfolding in El Fasher and
across Sudan. Silence only fuels the suffering and allows it to
continue. This is the moment for the world to act: to open access,
protect civilians and humanitarian responders, and deliver the aid that
can still save lives. The world cannot claim ignorance — only inaction."


This
is the moment to take action: [ [link removed] ]Send your urgent gift to help families

Sincerely,

The Mercy Corps team
