Two Years of Crisis

Two years of crisis in Sudan has created one of the world’s worst hunger crises, with famine spreading quickly across the country. Nearly 25 million people – more than half the population – are facing acute food shortages.

Extreme violence against civilians and humanitarian aid workers, with hundreds of people killed in the last few weeks alone, has resulted in the suspension of vital humanitarian work and humanitarian catastrophe.

“Before the war, life was sustainable. Now I survive on flour and water. My children are getting weaker, and so am I.”
– Hiba, 45, Sudanese refugee

 

“I know that at least five people have died of hunger in the camp. My life before the war was very sustainable and easy, but now living conditions here are bad. I survive on one meal a day of flour mixed with water and sugar. The nutrition value of the food is bad and it doesn’t provide what’s needed for my children. I give them a lot of the food but it’s not enough for them. They get ill more and are getting lighter and weaker. I’m lighter than I was and my dress doesn’t fit anymore. I think the situation will continue and my children and I will get weaker and weaker.”
