Urgent Appeal: Save the Lives of Innocent Children in Darfur
$0 of $85,000 raised
Time is running out as a hunger crisis engulfs war-ravaged Sudan, particularly in Darfur. People are resorting to eating “grass and peanut shells” just to survive. The situation is dire, with escalating violence exacerbating an already critical humanitarian crisis. Civil war has ravaged Sudan since April 2023, leading to unimaginable suffering, including reports of sexual violence and genocide. The recent attack on ICRC drivers underscores the dangers faced by humanitarian workers trying to assist those in need.
As the conflict escalates, innocent children are bearing the brunt of the crisis. Displacement, arbitrary killings, and the destruction of villages have become commonplace. Thousands have fled their homes, seeking refuge in cities like El Fasher, which now hosts displaced populations numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
The violence has not only shattered lives but also hindered crucial aid deliveries. Despite efforts by organizations like the World Food Programme, bureaucratic hurdles and fighting have disrupted food assistance, leaving 1.7 million people in Darfur facing emergency levels of hunger. The recent escalation of violence around El Fasher has further impeded aid efforts, cutting off vital supply routes.
We cannot stand idly by while innocent lives hang in the balance. Every donation can make a difference, providing essential food, shelter, and medical assistance to those most in need. Together, we can prevent widespread starvation and death in Darfur and across Sudan. Your generosity can help save the lives of countless children and families who are facing unimaginable hardship. Donate now to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by this devastating crisis.
