Qatar Charity (QC) has launched the “Sudan Appeal” campaign to provide food baskets, clean drinking water, sanitation facilities, healthcare services, and shelter tents.

The campaign, according to a statement from the QC, is expected to benefit more than 1mn people.

“Sudan is currently experiencing one of the world’s worst displacement crises, with more than 11mn refugees and displaced persons, while 2mn people have sought refuge in neighbouring countries,” the statement said. “By the end of 2024, 17mn people are at risk of famine, and severe malnutrition threatens 4.6mn children across various Sudanese regions.”

The campaign aims to provide food baskets to 550,000 people, containing essential food items to meet the needs of affected families, thereby addressing hunger among displaced children and families.

Many areas in Sudan suffer from severe shortages of clean drinking water.

The campaign is working to provide safe drinking water to 400,000 children and affected families.

Mobile sanitation units will be provided for 200,000 people in affected areas to prevent disease outbreaks, ensuring easy access for displaced persons and taking into consideration those with special needs and elderly individuals.

Given the crisis’s escalation, the QC is working to provide healthcare and treatment for 200,000 patients alongside improving healthcare services in different regions.

The campaign plans to provide shelter tents for 250,000 affected individuals and restores a sense of security and stability for displaced families.

The QC has helped Sudan in various areas, including comprehensive relief, food supply, healthcare, water, and sanitation.

Approximately 400,000 people have benefited from these projects across various regions.
