UNHCR | Famine in Sudan | Support people forced to flee
The people of Sudan have endured horrific violence for over a year, and now famine and a cholera outbreak has struck the most vulnerable in multiple locations in Sudan.
Your support is urgently needed to deliver life-saving aid, protection, and psychosocial support to those affected.
UNHCR is on the ground throughout the region, meeting refugees after their long journeys and providing them with life-saving support – shelter, safety, and basic supplies – and working to prevent cholera from spreading further.
But as the conflict continues without resolution and the suffering increases, we need your help to scale up our response and meet the rapidly escalating needs.
All of Sudan’s neighbouring countries impacted by this emergency already have large existing refugee and displaced populations. They are also underfunded and in dire need of resources to support refugee families. We cannot do this without you.

Your money helps UNHCR provide protection, shelter and other forms of assistance, and advocacy on behalf of displaced and stateless people every year. We ensure that as many funds as possible are redirected to refugees, stateless persons and asylum-seekers. 85 per cent of all funds raised go directly to field operations. 7 per cent is allocated for global programmes, helping refugees, internally displaced people, asylum seekers and stateless people under the UNHCR mandate around the world, and 8 per cent is for headquarters administration. UNHCR staff work as closely as possible with and for people forced to flee, with 90 per cent of our workforce based in field locations. For further details on UNHCR's budget, read our Global Report.
