in Sudan
What is happening in Sudan?
Sudan is the world’s largest internal displacement crisis, and children are paying the highest price.
Relentless attacks on hospitals, schools, water and power supplies have left children and families without access to essential services.
17.3 million children require protection and emergency assistance.
Famine has been confirmed in parts of North Darfur and the Nuba Mountains.
Since late October 2025, more than 127,000 people have been forced to leave their homes in Al Fasher, the capital of North Darfur. Humanitarian conditions remain dire, with civilians facing severe shortages of food, clean water, health services and essential supplies.
We’re working with partners on the ground responding to critical needs in health, nutrition, protection, education and water, sanitation and hygiene.
£10 a month over a year could bring three severely malnourished children back to health.

How will my donation help children in Sudan?
In 2025, with the help of our partners, we provided treatment for over 612,000 children with severe acute malnutrition.
Your donation will help us strengthen essential systems to ensure chidren have access to services in health, nutrition, water and sanitation, child protection, and education.

How is UNICEF supporting children in Sudan?
Some of the following types of support we have provided to children and families include:
- Helping over 15 million people access save drinking water in 2025.
- Reached 6.4 million people in conflict-affected areas through 1,400 health facilities and mobile teams.
- Helping displaced and returning families with services such as communal kitchens, serving over 60,000 people in 2025.
- Helping 3.2 million children with access to formal and non-formal education through 2025.
As the conflict continues to devastate communities, children are increasingly at risk of malnutrition, disease, exploitation, and long disruptions to their education. We must do everything we can to reach children and families in Sudan with life-saving support.
How to help Sudan
One of the best ways to donate to Sudan is through a monthly direct debit.
A monthly donation enables us to provide continuous support to children when they need it most, through nutritious food, access to healthcare and safe spaces. Children should not have to live through unimaginable violence. Your donation can help protect children in Sudan.
However you choose to donate, you will be helping to make a difference to the lives of children.
How will your Sudan donation be used?
For the first 3 months, monthly donations made to this appeal will go towards funding our work to support children in Sudan. After that, donations will go to support our work around the world. Any Gift Aid claimed on donations made to this appeal will support UNICEF’s work around the world.
In the unlikely event that the funds raised exceed what’s needed for the Sudan emergency appeal, or if funds cannot viably be directed to this appeal, we will direct funds to support our work to help keep children safe and healthy around the world.
The best way you can help support our emergency work in Sudan is to donate money to this appeal. Please give what you can, your donations will help us to protect children in Sudan.
