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, Port Sudan, Wad Madani, Gazira, River Nile, and Shandi, providing food parcels, core relief kits, medical support, and emergency shelter to vulnerable families across 20 IDP camps. Decades of internal conflict, political instability, extreme weather events, and economic challenges have fueled Sudan's multifaceted humanitarian crisis, causing food insecurity, malnutrition, and inadequate services. Since 2007, Zakat Foundation of America has been addressing food insecurity through seasonal giving, food packages, medical needs with cataract surgeries, Covid-19 relief, professional development, and sadaqah jariyah through water wells.

Nourishing Families Through Food Support
Mona
Mona Abdalrazig Idres, mother of 4, was displaced from her home due to water and food scarcity and the ongoing civil unrest. Despite relocating to AlFardos , living conditions remain dire, and countless continue to lack aid. Displaced by war, families struggle for work and to bring in a steady income. Our food aid is the first to be received, offering sustenance and gratitude. Mona was given nourishing meat as part of our Udihya/Qurbani program in response to displaced families affected by Sudan's April 2023 war. The aid package included essentials such as wheat, oil, lentils, rice, and sugar.
Mohamed
After a leg injury and a month of uncertainty, Mohamed Issa Awad Allah's family survived on their remaining Ramadan supplies. Mohamed’s injury prompted them to travel to Shandi for medical help. Selling their possessions to cover the costly surgery, their lives dramatically changed. Now in Noor Eliman center, they live in a hallway with their 5 children, without food. A neighbor occasionally offers sustenance. Grateful for the food packages from Zakat Foundation, the family expressed their sincere gratitude to donors for supporting them in their time of need.
