Responding to Crisis in Darfur, Sudan

Article image Families Fleeing Violence in Darfur, Sudan
With more than a million people displaced by fighting in the Darfur region of Sudan, Mercy Corps is seeking financial support to provide food, water and other life-saving assistance.

Mercy Corps staff are on the ground assisting CARE in Sudan, working to reach those most in need. Your contributions can help bring food, water, shelter and other vital relief supplies to families fleeing the growing violence.
Over the past year, ethnic and political violence has destroyed the livelihoods of many people in Darfur. Today, the fighting has escalated, forcing thousands of Sudanese to flee across the border into the neighboring nation of Chad.

The United Nations estimates that over 130,000 Sudanese have already fled to Chad as refugees. More than one million people in the Darfur region are directly affected by continued fighting, homeless and vulnerable to hunger, weather and violence.
