The conflict in Sudan has reached catastrophic levels, leaving millions of families—especially women and children—without food, shelter, or safety.
The conflict in Sudan has spiralled into a catastrophic humanitarian emergency, and families — especially mothers and children — are living in conditions that verge on unimaginable. Millions are displaced, food supplies are shrinking, healthcare systems are collapsing, and essential services have all but disappeared.
This is one of the most severe emergencies in the world today — and many media outlets are not covering it.
Signs of widespread suffering are everywhere.
Entire towns and borders are battle zones, making even basic aid delivery a life-threatening mission. Humanitarian convoys have faced drone threats and attacks while trying to reach displaced communities with lifesaving supplies.
In North Darfur, nearly 800,000 people are living in vast makeshift camps with almost no running water, insufficient sanitation, and limited access to food or clean water. Children are out of school, hygiene is minimal, and mothers are desperately trying to protect their families with almost nothing to give.
This crisis is not distant. A generation is being lost in front of our eyes.

and 63% are only partially operating — meaning maternal and emergency care are critically constrained.
Plan International is on the ground delivering critical support directly to the communities who need it most:
Food and water supplies into remote and famine-affected areas, including convoys approaching North Darfur from neighbouring Chad.
Hygiene kits and dignity supplies — especially vital for girls and young women — which are often lifesaving in overcrowded displacement camps.
Essential medical and maternal support, even as the broader health system teeters on collapse.
Child protection and basic education support in conditions where schooling has stopped and danger is constant.
Plan’s presence in these hardest-to-reach areas is unique — alongside only a small handful of humanitarian agencies still able to deliver at significant scale. But our funding is rapidly running out, and the need continues to grow.
Your generosity saves lives. Your support changes futures.
From working to end child marriage to keeping kids in school during crises, together we can make a difference where it’s needed most.
