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. Please rush a gift to help us meet the immediate needs of families in Sudan and in crisis zones around the world.
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:
Thank you for supporting our lifesaving work. Sincerely, The Mercy Corps team |
