War Child remains committed to our work in Sudan

Sudan is a country in crisis. Armed clashes between two rival factions of the country’s military – the Sudanese Armed Forces and a paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces – broke out on April 15, forcing tens of thousands of people to flee their homes and causing extensive damage to the country’s infrastructure. There are critical shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. Over 60% of the country’s hospitals are unable to function, leaving tens of thousands of Sudanese at extreme risk of disease or starvation.

War Child Canada has been operating in Sudan for over 18 years. In-country staff chose to remain in their communities and are ready to get back to work providing vital support to extremely vulnerable children and their families as soon as the situation allows. We are also looking at providing assistance to those Sudanese who have managed to flee to the neighbouring countries of South Sudan and Chad.

We hope that you will consider supporting War Child’s efforts at this critical time.
