Do not forget Sudan. Sudan is facing a catastrophic famine, described by the UN as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis in 2025. Nearly 30.4 million people, more than half the country, now depend on emergency aid, while 24.6 million are trapped in acute food insecurity. Among them, over 637,000 people are enduring famine conditions (IPC Phase 5) in some of the hardest-hit regions, including Zamzam, Al Salam, and Abu Shouk IDP camps in North Darfur, as well as the Western Nuba Mountains. Children are bearing the brunt of this man-made disaster: 522,000 children have already died from hunger-related causes. Despite the scale of the tragedy, aid deliveries remain dangerously inadequate. The suffering in Sudan is unfolding largely out of sight. Twelve million people are internally displaced, and over four million refugees have fled to neighbouring countries, where food aid is also running out. Entire communities in Darfur, Kordofan, and the Nuba Mountains are on the brink of starvation, surviving on foraged leaves and contaminated water. This crisis is not a distant tragedy; it is a daily reality of preventable death, the direct result of siege tactics and neglect. Do not forget Sudan. Every share, every donation, and every voice raised can push this silent catastrophe back into the world’s conscience and pressure governments to deliver the food, medicine, and safe passage that millions of Sudanese need to survive.
