No one should go to bed HUNGRY and SAD!
Sudan’s Challenges AND Hope
A national state of emergency has been called for the next THREE months because of the ongoing devastation caused by flooding from heavy seasonal rains which has claimed the lives of over 99 people. The floods have affected more than 500,000 people across Sudan, injured dozens more, and damaged more than 100,000 homes. Addition to that COVID-19 increased the burden to the transitional challenges period.

A People Thriving Against Civil War and Climate Change
Sudan’s history is rife with conflict, both man-made, including the separation of South Sudan in 2011, and natural, including flood emergencies are recent as 2019. As a result, Sudan’s residents have to struggle against these strangling factors to try to make ends meet: 7.1 million people in the country require humanitarian assistance. (USAID, 2018).
With all this considered, one thing remains clear: The people of Sudan are resilient and, with the support of donors like you, families in need there can access opportunities to break the chains of poverty and move toward success.
Islamic Relief’s Dedication to Sudan
Sudan is the first country the Islamic Relief global family provided relief to by responding to famine in 1984. Since then, Islamic Relief USA has worked to provide humanitarian aid in the region as permitted by U.S. law. Aid has included emergency response to flood survivors as well as food aid.
