Will you help the children of Sudan?


Their lives are being shattered by a cycle of violence, hunger, displacement and disease.
 

In April 2023, 17-year-old Sara (her name changed to protect her identity), who lived in Khartoum at the time, witnessed the most horrific side of the war in Sudan. Her family home was raided by soldiers who shot her father dead in front of her. They then raped her. (Credit: Plan International / Peter Caton)

Demand the UK Government urgently does more to help save lives before it is too late. Add your name to the petition today!

Following over two years of gruelling conflict in Sudan we stand at a critical moment – with extreme hunger already affecting 25 million people, increasing violence sweeping homes and camps, and a health system that has collapsed. With each day that passes, we risk more and more children dying from extreme hunger, conflict and disease.

What we’re calling for

Given the growing risk of the largest famine in the world in over 40 years, we must see the UK Government doing much more to help negotiate and secure a ceasefire. This is the only way to get sufficient aid to people facing starvation and prevent catastrophic loss of life.

The UK and other governments must also further scale-up emergency aid over the coming weeks and months, to help people at risk of starvation and disease. Lives must be saved now before it’s too late. 

Millions of children’s futures hang in the balance

The conflict has had a horrifying impact on children’s lives, with a staggering 16 million children now in dire need of support. These children have witnessed and been subject to brutal violence, have lost loved ones, have fled their homes and been forced to say goodbye to their schools and communities. 

Girls are especially vulnerable in this crisis. Harrowing reports of rape and gender-based violence have surged and millions of girls face an increased risk of exploitation and starvation. 

Time is quickly running out

Please sign this petition and demand the UK Government does all it can to help save lives before it is too late. 

UK leadership can help save lives and galvanise the international community to do far more. The UK Government must act now for the people of Sudan.
