. Nairobi, 20 June 2026 – International non-governmental organisations working in Sudan join recent warnings from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Coalition for Atrocity Prevention and Justice for Sudan regarding the danger facing civilians in El Obeid, North Kordofan. T
Key takeaway El Obeid is home to over 563,000 civilians, and currently hosts more than 105,000 displaced people who have fled violence elsewhere in Sudan.
Why this matters
The situation in El Obeid, Sudan, has significant implications for Christian charities and faith-based organizations providing humanitarian relief in the region. With over 563,000 civilians, including 105,000 displaced people, at risk, the need for emergency aid and protection is dire. The destruction of hospitals, schools, and markets, as well as the disruption of essential services like water and electricity, will require a coordinated response from humanitarian organizations. As the rainy season approaches, the risk of disease outbreaks and further displacement increases, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. The international community's warning of catastrophic consequences should violence continue underscores the urgency of the situation, and Christian charities must be prepared to respond with critical aid and support to vulnerable populations. The disruption of humanitarian access and commercial supply routes will also impact the ability of faith-based organizations to deliver aid, making it essential to monitor the situation closely and advocate for the protection of civilians and humanitarian responders.
