Sudan Crises

The World’s Largest Humanitarian Crisis

Latest From Sudan CrisisEl Nino drought

Sudan has received the least rainfall since 1984, when Ethiopia and Sudan were hit by a devastating famine.

The risk of famine in Sudan is growing.

In a new alert, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) said fresh evidence shows malnutrition getting worse in several hotspots.

The current levels of aid reaching the country is not meeting the demand, held back by a severe lack of funding, security and restricted access.

Drought now covers more than half of Sudan, wiping out crops in some areas and leaving families without food or income.

Sudan Crisis

Over 33.3 million people are in need of humanitarian aid

At least 200,000 people have been killed in the ongoing civil war in Sudan since 2023.

Famine is reported in several parts of the country. Supply chains, markets and farming are severely disrupted, and access to food is increasingly out of reach.

About the Camp

Muntada Aid has now established a camp for internally displaced people in Ar Rusayris area of Sudan, which is some 50 kilometres from the Ethiopian border.

Ar Rusayris area has seen a huge influx of IDPs fleeing war and persecution in the neighbouring areas.

Ar Rusayris is strategically important because the Roseires Dam, built here in 1966, is a key asset.

Due to the violence in the nearby areas, 14,000 people came to Ar Rusayris and took refuge in 3 schools. Most of the people who fled the violence are women and children. At these schools, they had no access to food, water, shelter and sanitation.

Muntada Aid has now built a camp on the outskirts of the town Ar Rusayris, initially for 250 families, where these families have been provided with family tents, regular food, health, water and sanitation services.

As a great supporter in this area, like many others, you can help us provide more people with accommodation.

Manal and her children fled their village when drones struck her home, killing her husband. She took shelter with 14,000 people in Ar Rusayris area in eastern Sudan.

They took shelter in 3 school villages and were dependent on charity from locals.

In October 2026, Muntada opened a camp to shelter 1250 people, where each family is provided with an all-weather family tent. Each month, these families will receive daily cooked meals, family food packs, health services, water and sanitation.

At least 14 million people have been displaced in the ongoing war, and at least 300,000 people have been killed.

Khartoum Bread Factory

8,000 loaves of free bread every day

Before the war, Khartoum, Sudan's capital, was home to almost 10 million people. But during the war, most of the people fled. It was also a main centre of the war. In 2025, pro-government forces took control of the city, and since then, people have been slowly returning; according to various reports, 4.7 million have returned, but in many cases, these families have nothing to return to. The war has destroyed most of the economy and infrastructure, and most families need significant humanitarian assistance; they are trying to rebuild their lives amid the ruins of war.

Muntada Aid's bread factory in central Khartoum provides 8,000 loaves of bread daily to neighbourhood communities.

Family food packs ready for distribution

Family Food Packs

A month of food for a family of seven

Sudan remains one of the world’s most severe hunger crises in the world. Now in its fourth year, the conflict is forcing families into desperation.

With drought gripping most of the country, the food crisis is deepening. El Niño is pushing millions into desperate situations.

Muntada Aid is on the ground providing vital family food packs to internally displaced people inside Sudan and refugees in Chad and Uganda.

About Our Family Food Pack

The term “family food pack” is the emergency food pack Muntada Aid provides to people caught in crisis. It includes a selection of food items we provide to the people we support. The family food pack aims to provide a family of 5-7 people with enough essentials for a whole month. Its provisions vary by country and culture, aiming to meet daily food and nutrition needs. We always aim to provide a good balance of macronutrients and micronutrients in line with the United Nations standards.
