Christian Charities Urge UK Action on Sudan Crisis
Faith Facts
- Sudan faces over 1,000 days of conflict, igniting the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
- Christian charities warn that nearly 34 million Sudanese now need urgent support, with over 11 million children suffering.
- UK’s Christian leaders stress a moral call for government action to protect the vulnerable.
Christian aid organizations are rallying together, highlighting that Sudan’s prolonged violence is robbing millions of hope, safety, and access to life’s basic needs.
They stress that two-thirds of Sudan’s population now depends on humanitarian relief as hunger and disease worsen.
The coalition of 13 aid groups—including Christian Aid and World Vision—is urging the UK to demonstrate godly compassion and leadership by increasing support and diplomatic engagement.
Patrick Watt, CEO of Christian Aid, emphasized the UK’s call “to help de-escalate the crisis,” referencing Britain’s influence and duty to bring peace.
Delays and shifting government priorities have left Sudanese families vulnerable, stripping away safety nets and diminishing effective outreach.
Nearly 80% of Sudan’s medical infrastructure is crippled, denying dependable healthcare to a majority of the people, and hunger stalks over 21 million souls.
Women and children are hit the hardest, with rising violence and limited aid reaching those led by women’s groups in desperate need.
Christian organizations are inviting people of faith to unite in prayer and action, supporting those bringing hope and relief to Sudan’s suffering families.
“Sudan cannot be allowed to fade into another forgotten crisis, worse, a neglected one.”
