Keep Eyes On Sudan
A historic humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding before our eyes—here's how you can help decrease the suffering
Since the Sudanese Proxy War began in April 2024, the world has witnessed one of the gravest—and most ignored—humanitarian catastrophes. One article will not by any means do it justice, however, I am hopeful that you will use this information to help play a productive role in supporting those suffering and encouraging an end to this atrocity.
So, Let’s Address This.
What started the war?
A Sudanese run community platform, NasAlSudan, is an excellent source of accurate insight on Sudan. I provide below the content they’ve pushed out across social media. I highly encourage you to follow them on social media above and continue to elevate their content.
What is the current status of the war?
With each passing day the conflict grows more unstable. As NPR reports citing UNICEF:
According to UNICEF, at least 77 hospitals across Sudan have come under attack since the war began. Aid groups say that with the extreme fighting that’s resulted in the displacement of more than 7 million people, Sudan has become the largest humanitarian crisis in the world and that the attacks have made it difficult for health workers to respond and provide critical medical services to millions of people.
How can we help?
NasAlSudan created this helpful graphic on the three areas we can each support the people of Sudan. Deepen your knowledge about Sudan (by listening to Sudanese scholars like Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik, donate to grassroots organizations on the ground like the Sudan UN fund that is exclusively focused on the people of Sudan, and write to your member of Congress to demand action and peace.
Tens of millions of innocent people continue to suffer horrific atrocity in Sudan. It is critical we use our platforms to raise awareness and understanding, and most importantly, action to encourage peace and justice. Please share this content by NasAlSudan, and continue to raise your voice for justice for the people of Sudan.

Qasim, deepest appreciation for highlighting and providing a helpful information link regarding this truly horrific situation (I'll stay connected with the NasAlSudan link and Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik!). The Israeli connection (Knitwish, below) is not at all surprising. Your determination to create a future more committed to justice and universal human rights is gratifying. It has been extremely frustrating and infuriating to note the lack of coverage and information regarding the tragedy in Sudan in our corrupt and irresponsible media. Many thanks!
The counter-insurgency government also supports Israel’s genocide in Gaza AND is using Israeli weapons. Thank you for pointing to one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises and providing us with resources for further research! This story needs to be told.
