Bara: The Forgotten Crisis — Emergency Relief for Displaced Families

Help us raise $5,000 to provide lifesaving food for families fleeing the violence in Bara.

In the heart of North Kordofan, the town of Bara has become the epicenter of one of Sudan’s most devastating yet underreported humanitarian crises.
In late October 2025, the town witnessed a rapid escalation of violence that forced thousands of residents to flee their homes. After weeks of intense fighting, the situation deteriorated dramatically — resulting in civilian casualties, mass displacement, and widespread suffering.

Reports from humanitarian and medical sources confirm that over 4,500 people have fled Bara, escaping under dire conditions. Many walked through unsafe terrain, with no food, no water, and little shelter—hoping to find safety in El Obeid, around 60 kilometers to the south.

As communications and access routes were disrupted, families endured long journeys amid fear and hunger. Many of those displaced include children, mothers, and the elderly, who now face severe shortages of basic needs.

• 4,500+ people have fled Bara, with 1,900 reaching El Obeid and others still on dangerous roads.
• Families are sleeping in open areas without shelter or access to clean water.
• 50 civilians, including five Sudanese Red Crescent volunteers, were killed while delivering food aid.
• Hospitals and humanitarian teams in El Obeid are overwhelmed and running out of supplies.

The Sudanese American Medical Association (SAMA), in partnership with trusted local teams, is launching an emergency food relief campaign to support displaced families arriving in El Obeid.

Our immediate goal is to raise $5,000 to provide lifesaving food assistance for those who fled Bara.

Every contribution helps deliver warm meals and essential nutrition to people who have lost everythi

In moments of crisis, our shared humanity is what binds us together.
The people of Bara are facing hunger, exhaustion, and loss — and they need our help now.

Your generosity can turn fear into hope.
Every meal you help provide is more than nourishment — it’s a message to those displaced that they are not forgotten.

Together, we can bring comfort to families who have lost everything and ensure they are met with kindness, care, and dignity.

Thank you very much for your interest in partnering with us to deliver urgent food assistance to families displaced from Bara. We greatly appreciate the time and effort you dedicated to the process.

We have identified an implementing organization for this specific intervention, and therefore the RFP is now closed. However, we truly value your commitment and would welcome the opportunity to collaborate on future projects.

Thank you once again, and we look forward to staying connected.
