Sudan crisis, two years on
Two years into Sudan’s brutal war, the conflict has forced millions of people to flee their homes, creating the world’s largest humanitarian crisis which is deepening humanitarian needs and exacerbating food insecurity in Sudan but also in the wider central and eastern African region.
The looming rainy season, combined with aid cuts by the US and other key donors, will severely hamper humanitarian efforts putting millions more lives at risk, a new report by Oxfam and other humanitarian agencies warned.
The report –The Unravelling of the World’s Largest Humanitarian Disaster: From the Sahel to the Red Sea – published jointly by humanitarian organisations responding in Sudan and neighbouring countries, highlights the staggering human cost of what is now the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.
When disaster strikes, we work in solidarity with communities and partner organisations on the frontline of the crisis.
The UK government has chosen to cut international aid instead of taxing the super-rich, join us in the fight - Call to Tax the Rich.
