Sudan, three years into a brutal war, remains the world¡¯s worst humanitarian crisis. 

Nearly 34 million people ¨C 65 percent of the population ¨C need urgent humanitarian assistance. Famine conditions have been confirmed in Al Fasher and Kadugli, with the risk of famine in 20 additional areas across Greater Darfur and Greater Kordofan.

In the western regions of Sudan ¨C notably North Darfur, South Darfur, West Kordofan and South Kordofan ¨C conflict and severely restricted access is driving a sharp deterioration in hunger and malnutrition.

An estimated 19 million people ¨C two out of five Sudanese ¨C are facing high levels of acute food insecurity, according to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification.

Already chronically high levels of malnutrition have further deteriorated, with 4.2 million young children and pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls expected to need treatment. More than 3 million young children and 1.9 million mothers will need support to prevent malnutrition. 

Sudan is also the world¡¯s biggest displacement crisis with more than 11.5 million people forced from their homes by the conflict.

Sudan¡¯s hunger crisis risks being compounded by the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. Disruptions in the Red Sea are delaying critical imports, driving up the cost of food, fuel and fertilizer.

The ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ (ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½) is a critical lifeline for millions of people, with emergency food assistance helping to reverse famine conditions in nine locations where conflict had subsided and access improved.

However, the ?gap between humanitarian needs and existing resources is massive. From February 2026,? hunger is expected to worsen as food stocks run out and fighting continues.

An end to hostilities and safe, unimpeded and sustained humanitarian access is needed to prevent further loss of life and protect livelihoods.

ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ urgently requires US$610 million to continue its operations in Sudan from March to August 2026.
