Nearly Half a Million People in Sudan Lose Access to Life-Saving Services Amidst Funding Cuts

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) reported that almost half a million people across Sudan have lost access to critical health care, nutrition support, clean water, and protection services due to the cessation of U.S. funding and the depletion of bridge funding. This crisis has led to the closure of 36 health facilities, 29 nutrition centers, and multiple safe spaces, exacerbating the world's largest displacement crisis where 33.7 million people need aid and 9 million are displaced. Donors are urged to urgently fill the funding gap to prevent further collapse of essential services.
