Die dramatischste aktuelle Hungerkatastrophe fordert ihren Tribut: Viele Menschen auf der Flucht vor dem Bürgerkrieg stehen kurz vor dem Hungertod.

Crisis situation

Nowhere safe from hunger.

Almost 13 million people, many of them children, have fled one of the cruellest wars. Many within Sudan, but also to neighboring countries such as South Sudan. As a result, almost two thirds of the Sudanese population are dependent on humanitarian aid.
Many more people are affected by massive sexual violence, terror against civilians and indiscriminate attacks on residential areas. They are being systematically starved because both warring parties - the army (SAF) and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) - are using hunger as a weapon. What is particularly terrible is that even if they manage to escape, they are not safe: attacks are also a daily occurrence in the displaced persons camps and food is extremely scarce there too, if there is any at all.

Emergency measures

The essentials for families.

Together with our partner organization ZOA, our emergency aid provides families in displaced persons camps in Aweil in South Sudan (on the border with Sudan) with the basic necessities for survival. By cultivating crops and rehabilitating wells, we are helping to create livelihoods and give families more independence again.

    Vital emergency aid

    Access to drinking water

    In Aweil (Südsudan) wurden fünf Brunnen saniert und vier neue Brunnen errichtet. Damit konnten wir 2’490 Haushalte – insgesamt 15’940 Menschen – Zugang zu sauberem Wasser ermöglichen. Zusätzlich wurden neun Wassermanagementkomitees eingerichtet und geschult, die künftig reparierten und neu gebauten Brunnen verwalten werden. Darüber hinaus konnten 11’960 Menschen zu verschiedenen Hygienethemen aufgeklärt. Weitere Aktivitäten – unter anderem zur Instandsetzung von Brunnen und zur Verteilung von Werkzeugen – sind bereits in Planung, damit noch mehr Familien wieder auf eigenen Beinen stehen können.

    Training in arable farming

    Helping people to help themselves

    Already 300 people - mainly women - have been trained in agriculture. Thanks to the seeds provided and the new agricultural skills, the families are able to grow staple foods, which are crucial for improving their food security.

    Agricultural support

    First steps towards self-sufficiency

    Viele Familien werden voraussichtlich sehr lange in den Vertriebenencamps ausharren müssen. Deshalb unterstützen wir auch die ersten Schritte zum Wiederaufbau. In Aweil konnten bereits 600 Haushalte mit Saatgut und Werkzeugen für den Anbau von Grundnahrungsmitteln versorgt werden
