Crisis Briefing
Since April 2023, war has pushed Sudan into one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
More than one thousand days of war has left families across Sudan without reliable food, medicine and safety. The hardest-hit areas include Darfur and Kordofan, where many communities remain cut off from aid.
Islamic Relief is calling for urgent global action to protect civilians and open humanitarian access.
