Sudan
Response to Humanitarian Crisis
Since April 2023, the ongoing conflict in Sudan has displaced over 12 million people, making it the largest internally displaced persons (IDP) crisis worldwide. Zakat Foundation of America is responding in Darfur, including El Fasher, Tawila, and Jabal Marra, and in Adré, Chad, and Benghazi, Libya, supporting Sudanese refugees with food parcels, relief kits, medical care, emergency support, and orphan care. Our efforts restore dignity and lifesaving aid to those affected by the crisis. Decades of internal conflict, political instability, extreme weather events, and economic challenges have fueled Sudan’s multifaceted humanitarian crisis, causing widespread food insecurity, malnutrition, collapsed health services, and limited access to basic needs. Since 2007, Zakat Foundation of America has been addressing food insecurity through seasonal giving, food packages, medical support, including cataract surgeries, Covid‑19 relief, professional development, and sadaqah jariyah through water wells, while rapidly scaling emergency response to meet the unprecedented needs of displaced and at-risk families in 2026.

Nourishing Families Through Food Support
Fatima, 35 years old, a widow and mother of four, lost her small home and all her belongings during the floods in Jabal Marra. She and her four children were left without food or shelter. When we distributed food packages, blankets, and cooking utensils, Fatima said this was the first real help her family had received since the disaster. The food package sustained them for nearly a month, and the blankets protected her children from the cold nights. Fatima expressed deep gratitude, saying that this support gave her hope and dignity after losing everything.
Abdallah, 72 years old, lives in Tawila camp with his two children. Before the conflict, he was a farmer in his village and provided for his family through agriculture. After displacement, he lost his land and all means of income, and now, despite his old age, he is solely responsible for raising his children. In the camp, his greatest difficulty has been ensuring his children have regular meals. The food parcel he received helped cover his family’s basic food needs. He emphasized that the timely arrival of food assistance made life easier for them and gave them renewed hope to move forward.
