Sudan
ARDF is extending humanitarian response in Sudan through targeted support in Blue Nile State and South Kordofan State, where conflict, displacement, hunger, and limited access continue to deepen community needs.
Focused response in high-need border and conflict-affected areas.
ARDF has been operating in Sudan since January 2026, working across two administrative regions: Blue Nile State, including Kurmuk and Geisan, and South Kordofan State, including Kauda.
The Sudan initiative contributes to ongoing humanitarian response efforts while addressing growing needs in communities affected by conflict, displacement, food insecurity, and damaged public services.

Sudan Context
Sudan is experiencing one of the world's largest displacement and humanitarian crises, driven by conflict, hunger, disease risk, and severe access constraints.
33M+ People in Need
Nearly half the population requires assistance as conflict continues to disrupt safety, markets, public services, and livelihoods.
Mass Displacement
More than 13 million people have been uprooted, including internally displaced families and refugees crossing into neighboring countries.
Severe Hunger
Acute food insecurity affects millions, with famine conditions reported in parts of Darfur and Kordofan.
Health System Strain
Many health facilities are no longer functional in conflict areas, increasing the risk from cholera, malaria, measles, dengue, and other outbreaks.
Humanitarian Drivers and Impacts
The crisis is shaped by overlapping shocks that make daily survival harder and limit the ability of communities to recover.
Displacement and Regional Spillover
Families are moving inside Sudan and across borders into Chad, South Sudan, and Egypt, stretching services in already fragile host communities.
Protection Risks
Civilians face violence, insecurity, conflict-related injuries, and high levels of sexual violence against women and girls.
Access Constraints
Aid delivery is hindered by restrictions, insecurity, closed routes, and violence against humanitarian workers.
Infrastructure Destruction
Water, sanitation, education, and health infrastructure have been damaged, weakening essential services and long-term recovery.
