Famine confirmed in North Darfur Sudan
Armed violence in Sudan is putting children at risk.
Famine has been confirmed in northern Darfur in a camp hosting 755,000 people displaced by conflict in Sudan.
More than 15 months of continued conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces has created a humanitarian crisis in Sudan. Half of Sudan’s population – more than 24.8 million people, almost 13.6 million of whom are children – are in need of urgent assistance.
Children have been killed, injured and displaced from home, and the conflict is disrupting critical services on which families depend. Sudan now has the world’s largest number of internally displaced people, with more than 11 million people uprooted by the conflict which began in April 2023 – 2 million more have left Sudan in search of safety.
The situation for children in Sudan was already very fragile. Food security, health, water and education services were stretched. Now life-saving treatment and other health services are disrupted, and most schools are closed. The routine immunisation rate has fallen rapidly since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic – one in six children are completely unprotected from preventable diseases.
Our Support in Sudan
Despite the challenges, UNICEF and partners have reached:
- 5.2 million children and families with safe drinking water.
- 3.3 million people with critical health supplies.
- Almost 2.8 million children with screening for malnutrition.
- Over 133,600 children receiving life-saving treatment.
- 2.1 million children and caregivers with psychosocial counselling, learning, and protection support.
- 72,800 mothers, children, and families with cash, information, and services to preserve health and resilience.
With your kind support, we can help more children and families affected by this conflict.
Please donate to help protect children in Sudan.
How will my donation help children?
Our priorities are the safe passage, protection, and access to services for children, families and our staff across Sudan.
A single donation of £25 could help provide emergency supplies like safe water, maternity kits and essential vaccines.
We’re expanding our existing work to support children without parents or guardians and displaced families. We’re securing and mobilising life-saving supplies, and we’re helping treat injuries and getting emergency education services, clean water and mental health support to children.
We are committed to staying to support the children of Sudan for as long as they need us. Please help us to reach children and families affected by this devastating conflict.

In the unlikely event that the funds raised exceed what’s needed for the appeal, we will direct any excess funds to support our work to help keep children safe and healthy around the world.
Donating Items and Volunteering
We’re currently not accepting any items for the emergency appeal. These kind offers are really appreciated, but any donated items will need to be sorted, cleaned and transported which could impact our response, so please consider making a monetary donation instead to our emergency appeals.
We’re not currently sending any volunteers to Sudan.
The best way you can help support our emergency work in Sudan is to donate money to the appeal. Please give what you can, your donations will help us to protect children in Sudan.
