Millions Are Facing Hunger.

You Can Save Lives Today.

Sudan Is in Crisis. 80% Are Hungry. Over Half Are Starving. Your donation today can be the difference between life and death.

This isn’t a crisis of thousands; it’s affecting millions. Ethar has been helping refugees for years in Sudan. Now the war has come to Sudan itself, and the need is greater than ever.

We’ve distributed 1,000 foodpacks reaching 500 IDP families and 500 refugee families across Kassala Locality and Al-Girba Camp.

SUDAN CRISIS

CRISIS AT A GLANCE

Sudan is experiencing one of the worst hunger crises in the world.

80% of the population is facing hunger
More than half are already starving
The civil war has shattered families, destroyed livelihoods, and cut off access to food, clean water, and medicine.

This is not affecting thousands , this is affecting millions.

And right now, most people have nothing left.

Families Are Fleeing for Safety

Ethar Relief has spent years supporting refugees in Sudan. Now, the war has come to Sudan itself, and the need is more desperate than ever. Refugee camps are overwhelmed and bursting. Families are fleeing violence with nothing but the clothes they wear. Every day, another child, mother, or elderly person goes to bed hungry.

You can help provide food, clean water, and hope.

What’s Happening in Eastern Sudan

In Kassala, Gedaref, and Port Sudan, displaced families, refugees, and host communities are living through extreme hardship:

Food supplies from western regions have completely collapsed
Fuel prices have skyrocketed, making transport unaffordable
Market prices are soaring, pushing basic foods out of reach
Jobs are scarce and inflation is rising daily
Meanwhile across the country:
Famine zones are expanding — especially in Darfur
A deadly cholera outbreak threatens thousands
Displacement from hotspots like El Fasher is increasing pressure on eastern reception centres
Families cannot survive this alone.

📍 Kassala ➜ Khartoum

In any humanitarian crisis, there are a variety of issues which affect the situation, both historic and contemporary. We are aware that many people will have specific and often strong views on aspects of this crisis, and it’s not the first regional crisis to provoke strong opinion.

Nonetheless, our sole objective is to assist refugees, displaced vulnerable people, and those in urgent need first and foremost, irrespective of political affiliations, race, gender, disability or religious belief.

Political statements or endorsements of any kind can be detrimental to charitable work when fundraising and delivering aid to those in need. As such, statements - however well intentioned - can detract from our collective humanitarian aims.

We commit to maintaining our humanitarian neutrality for the sake of serving those who are in desperate need, regardless of affiliation or background. We encourage our dear supporters to approach this work with the same spirit.

We’ll use your funds exactly as you've requested, allocating them to the project you've specified, in accordance with Ethar's Cost Allocation Policy and programming best practice, which are in place to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations. There are many different challenges facing refugees in the areas where we operate, and new difficulties often appear; in the rare cases where the need elsewhere becomes greater still, we may redistribute your funds within the response area to respond best to that particular emergency.
