Sudan: Sudan's Suffering Is Plain for All to See Say Aid Teams, As Brutal War Continues

What the report says

Aid agencies working in Sudan say they are running short of supplies and need more international funding as the country’s war continues to displace millions of people. In reporting attributed to UN News and distributed by AllAfrica, humanitarian officials warned on Friday that warehouses are emptying and that current resources are far below what is needed to meet shelter and relief needs across the country.

The article says 15.4 million people in Sudan urgently need shelter, as fighting that began in April 2023 between rival military forces keeps driving families from their homes. UN migration agency official Mohamed Refaat, speaking from Khartoum, said aid stocks were nearly exhausted after recent deliveries to Darfur, while UN refugee agency representative Abubakarr Jalloh described how displaced families need more than tents and basic items to preserve dignity, privacy and safety.

UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration said humanitarian groups can reach only about one in 10 people in need because of funding gaps. The report also notes that women and children make up most of the displaced, and that poor rainfall linked to El Niño has hurt harvests and kept food prices high in several regions.

The agencies warned that without flexible funding, more families could face winter without adequate protection. The UN’s 2026 humanitarian plan for Sudan remains heavily underfunded, having received 47% of the requested $2.9 billion, according to the article.
