Sudan humanitarian aid system faces collapse due to funding shortages
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has warned that Sudan’s humanitarian aid system faces potential collapse within weeks due to a critical lack of funding. The warning concerns the IOM Common Humanitarian Pipeline, a vital mechanism used by the IOM and over 100 partner NGOs to distribute emergency shelters and essential non-food items across the country.
Since July 2023, this pipeline has provided aid to 2.84 million people. However, the scale of assistance has seen a downward trend, with over one million people assisted in 2024, dropping to 804,000 in 2025. In 2026, the IOM has provided emergency kits to 330,000 people so far.
IOM Director General Amy Pope stated that without immediate donor support, essential supplies such as sanitation kits and emergency household items are expected to be exhausted by the end of September 2026. Furthermore, the operational and storage capacities required to maintain the pipeline may only be sustainable until December. This crisis unfolds amidst an ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which humanitarian workers estimate has caused more than 200,000 deaths.
