"After fifty hours of driving, I've recently returned from Darfur with a single image that stayed with me: convergence. Families fleeing south from violence. Aid workers and supplies grinding north through mountain passes to meet them. In this video, I share what I saw in Tawila, Zalingei, and El Geneina—where IRC is one of the largest providers of health care, water, and cash assistance to more than half a million displaced people," —Bob Kitchen, IRC Vice President of Emergencies.
What's happening in Sudan?
Renewed fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since April 2023 has pushed Sudan to the brink of
collapse. Over 30 million people now need humanitarian aid, making Sudan the largest humanitarian and displacement crisis in the world.

How can I help the people of Sudan?
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is delivering comprehensive humanitarian aid across Sudan and in neighboring countries where refugees are seeking safety. Our teams are on the ground, navigating security risks and displacement, to bring care directly to those most in need, including in difficult-to-access regions at the frontline of war.
Your support can help the IRC deliver lifesaving medical services, food, water, livelihood assistance and other essential aid, where it's needed most.
