Catholic aid agency launches emergency appeal to support ‘world’s worst crisis’ in Sudan

LEICESTER, United Kingdom – Britain’s leading Catholic aid agency is making an emergency appeal to support families in Sudan.

Over 8.5 million Sudanese have been forced to flee their homes in Sudan since the war between rival militaries erupted in April 2023, according to the United Nations.

The civil war started in April 2023, involving fighting between the Sudan Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group.

Sudan is now in the grip of the world’s worst hunger and displacement crisis.
