Qatar Charity supported displaced Sudanese families and provided hundreds of tons of food assistance. It also supplied medicines to combat cholera, incubators for children, kidney dialysis machines, and mobile clinics. Qatar Charity has continued to expand its humanitarian projects, supported by the generosity of donors in Qatar, throughout 2025, reaching new areas and the most vulnerable and affected families in Sudan, which is witnessing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis according to the United Nations. A package of high-quality relief and health projects implemented by Qatar Charity’s field teams in the areas of food security, health, and shelter contributed to alleviating the compounded humanitarian crisis affecting more than one million displaced people and affected families in Sudan, which ranked third globally on the list of monitored humanitarian crises issued by the International Rescue Committee. Below is a spotlight on the most prominent interventions carried out by Qatar Charity in Sudan during 2025: Sheltering displaced people in Qatar Charity Camp Qatar Charity was fully prepared in advance to receive displaced people from western Sudan after fighting expanded there toward the Northern State. It urgently initiated the establishment of the “Qatar Charity Camp” after providing tents and food for the displaced, with generous support from the Qatar Fund for Development. Qatar Charity provided 1,640 tents, 3,412 food baskets, 3,700 personal hygiene kits, 4,240 blankets, 3,950 ground mats, 6,600 mosquito nets, and 2,080 kitchen kits. The number of beneficiaries reached 27,480 displaced people. The camp also included a free medical clinic run by the Qatar Red Crescent team, while Qatar Charity’s affiliated humanitarian teams plan to implement further interventions in the areas of water, sanitation, and emergency education in the coming period. Providing Clinics and Health Services for Those Affected As part of its ongoing efforts to support the health sector in Sudan, Qatar Charity's medical teams implemented a project in 2025 to provide health services to those affected by the crisis in Al Jazirah State in central Sudan, and in areas in Al Qadarif State in the east of the country where medical services were reaching people for the first time. In Al Jazirah State, the project was implemented in Madani and included operating clinics providing medical care, examinations, and free treatment in a number of villages and areas in eastern Al Jazirah State that witnessed forced displacement during the ongoing war, including the villages of Al Hajlij, Al Danagla, Al Nazir, Kurd Qili, and Al Awadiya. The project had a significant impact on the residents of these areas who lost much of their medical equipment and belongings during their displacement. The project also included providing free medical examinations, tests, and treatment in the Al Tariya area and a camp for displaced people in Al Qallabat Al Gharbiya locality in Al Qadarif State, to provide healthcare to those affected by the crisis. The clinics project benefited 5,060 patients in villages desperately in need of medical services, particularly during the autumn season when dengue fever, malaria, and diarrhea were prevalent. The project improved access to healthcare, provided care for chronic diseases, and raised health awareness among approximately 1,760 beneficiaries in the region. Providing Dialysis Machines for 10,000 Kidney Failure Patients Qatar Charity alleviated the suffering of approximately 10,000 kidney failure patients in River Nile State who had been enduring long waiting lists for dialysis sessions. This was achieved by providing 14 dialysis machines to Al-Damer Hospital and a hospital in the Al-Bawqa area, as part of a project aimed at supporting and providing essential medical equipment. The modern dialysis machines provided by Qatar Charity have ended the patients' suffering, reduced the pressure on medical staff at the dialysis center in Al-Damer, and significantly improved the quality of healthcare services provided to patients. This project also included the distribution of 14 dialysis chairs and a water purification unit, benefiting approximately 10,000 people. Qatar Charity also provided relief aid, including food and shelter, to 1,740 families displaced by the war in eastern Gezira State. Providing food and essential supplies to 106,895 displaced families Qatar Charity's field teams distributed food baskets in Port Sudan, including to the 'Qadreen' Center (the first charitable center for addiction treatment in Sudan) and the 'Aman for Survivors' Center, which supports girls who were raped during the war. This distribution was part of the 'Providing Food and Essential Supplies for Displaced Persons' project implemented in 2025. Food aid also reached the 'Dhat Al-Nitaqain' shelter, as well as displaced persons and vulnerable families in the states of Red Sea, Gedaref, Kassala, Gezira, and River Nile. Qatar Charity's field teams distributed food baskets to the displaced families in Port Sudan, including the 'Qadreen' Center (the first charitable center for addiction treatment in Sudan) and the 'Aman for Survivors' Center, which supports girls who were raped during the war. The project included the distribution of essential living supplies, meals, and food items to 106,895 displaced families in three states, helping them to return voluntarily after enduring extremely difficult circumstances, including a lack of food, clothing, and necessities such as blankets, mattresses, and food supplies. These items were provided as part of the project to help them start a new life. Distribution of Shelter and Non-Food Items with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) In partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Qatar Charity implemented a project to support internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees in the Red Sea and Gezira states, benefiting approximately 12,330 families. Provision of Phototherapy Devices and Eight Incubators for Newborns Newborns in Sudan were also a focus of Qatar Charity's projects in 2025. A specialized project provided eight incubators and phototherapy devices, which were distributed to major hospitals in Port Sudan and Wad Madani. These cities had experienced a severe shortage and damage to such medical equipment during the war. The project benefited 15,000 families in the states of Al Jazirah and the Red Sea. This project, which focused on the care of premature infants, was part of a series of health projects that targeted the most vulnerable and needy groups in Sudan.
