SUD, Support to Mutual Aid Groups (MAGs)

Sudan is experiencing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises following the outbreak of civil war in April 2023 between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The conflict has led to mass displacement of nearly 13 million people and caused more than 30 million people to be in urgent need of humanitarian aid. Basic infrastructure has collapsed, more than 70% of health facilities are non-functional, vaccination rates have dropped significantly, in addition to facing outbreaks of Cholera.

Human rights violations have escalated dramatically, particularly in Darfur and North Kordofan, where the RSF has been accused of committing massacres and ethnic-based violence. Famine conditions are worsening in several regions, with increasing levels of malnutrition, especially among children.

In response to the deteriorating situation and the restricted access faced by international actors, grassroots networks such as MAGs have stepped up, delivering vital aid and reflecting Sudan’s long-standing culture of local solidarity, known as ‘Nafir’.
