Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan
The civil war between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that has been going on for over a year has led to a major humanitarian crisis in Sudan, displacing more than 11 million people within and outside the country. A total of 25 million people, including 14 million children, are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance.
25 Million People in Need
In Sudan, cholera cases are rapidly increasing due to the collapse of the health system, while nearly 18 million people face acute food insecurity. However, security problems, looting, fuel shortages and bureaucratic obstacles make it difficult for humanitarian aid to reach them. According to UN reports, more than 11 million people have been displaced, 7.3 million of whom are within the country. The number of deaths caused by the conflict is more than 15,000, and the number of injuries is more than 30,000.
Crisis in Education
Education in Sudan has also been hit hard by the war. More than 19 million children are out of education, with one in three children in the country out of school. The international community has reduced its efforts to find a solution to the crisis in Sudan. It is alarming that no child will be able to go to school in the coming months, given the ongoing conflict.
IHH’s Aid in Sudan
IHH has been providing humanitarian aid to the Sudanese people since the beginning of the civil war. To date, it has provided direct aid to 800,000 Sudanese people. IHH, which distributes food and supplies, sacrificed 450 cattle during the last Eid al-Adha and provided aid to 13,350 families.
