Emergency Response:

SAPA aims to support displaced families (including pregnant women, orphans and elderly) in Sudan by delivering nutritious food and essential health services to prevent hunger and malnutrition among the most vulnerable populations.

Food Insecurity and Malnutrition:

Nearly 25 million people, more than half of Sudan’s population, are experiencing acute food insecurity. Famine conditions have been confirmed in El Fasher (North Darfur) and Kadugli (South Kordofan), with at least 20 additional districts at high risk. Global acute malnutrition exceeds 15% in multiple areas and surpasses 30% in parts of Darfur and Kordofan, well above famine thresholds. An estimated 825,000 children are projected to suffer from severe wasting in 2026.

Healthcare Infrastructure Collapse:

Sudan’s health system has largely collapsed, with about 80% of health facilities in conflict-affected areas being non-functional. Disease outbreaks, including cholera, malaria, and dengue, are widespread across all 18 states. Maternal and neonatal care has been critically disrupted, and every 9 minutes, a newborn dies in Sudan, often from preventable causes due to the absence of skilled care, equipment, and timely treatment.

Mass Displacement:

Escalating violence in El-Fasher has triggered new waves of displacement, forcing families to flee toward northern regions. Many are arriving in overcrowded sites such as Al-Affad IDPs Camp, where existing services were already stretched beyond capacity. The rapid influx of displaced families has intensified shortages of food, health care, and emergency support, placing children, pregnant women, newborns, and the elderly at heightened risk.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity." 

Al-Tirmidhi 589
