Synopsis (short abstract) As it enters its third year of conflict, the Sudan continues to face one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises and the largest internal displacement crisis. Over half of the Sudan’s population is acutely food insecure, marking the highest level of hunger in the country’s history. Famine has been confirmed in five areas and five more are likely to experience famine conditions through May 2025, according to projections from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Famine Review Committee. To assist 14.2 million people in the Sudan, FAO requires USD 156.7 million under the 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan. An initial USD 50 million is urgently needed to launch time-sensitive interventions. The timely delivery of emergency livelihood support will be critical in strengthening food security and enhancing the resilience of affected communities.

Famine has been declared in North Darfur and the Western Nuba mountains, as conflict, economic collapse and climate shocks push entire communities to the brink of catastrophe. Emergency agricultural assistance to boost local food production and availability is an urgent humanitarian priority, critical to preventing further hunger and suffering.

The Sudan: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2024 2024

With conflict raging since April 2023, the Sudan has rapidly become the world’s largest internal displacement crisis. Humanitarian needs are immense and rising. One in two people require immediate assistance, and more than one in three are acutely food insecure. Intense conflict and continued economic decline have constrained agricultural production, limiting access to food nationwide. Restoring crop and livestock production – a livelihood for 2/3 of the population – is a top humanitarian priority. This document provides an overview of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO) component of the 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan for the Sudan. FAO requires USD 104.1 million to assist 9 million people.
