Our funding for emergency food and medical care in Sudan is about to run out -- and the timing could not be worse.

Over 150,000 people have been killed by war and genocidal violence. This has triggered mass displacement, famine is spreading, and 8 million people are in danger of starvation. It is the deadliest crisis on Earth.

Our movement has played a critical role, and we cannot stop now.

Together, we've helped to feed tens of thousands of families, funded lifesaving medical care, and given direct support to Sudanese journalists on the ground.

By working with reporters and connecting them with newsrooms around the world, Avaaz is helping to push Sudan's horrors into the headlines -- and onto the political agenda.

But the crisis has deepened in recent weeks, and a genocidal army is preparing for massacre in North Darfur. International aid is nowhere near enough, and our funds are almost gone because the needs are so extreme. That's why we're making this special appeal.

With your help, we'll fund as much food and medical care as possible -- supporting community kitchens and emergency responders doing everything they can to save lives. We'll shine a global media spotlight on the families fighting to survive, and build huge public pressure for governments to intervene and release a flood of humanitarian aid.

The more we raise, the more people we can help in the days and weeks ahead. Every single donation will make a difference. Please give what you can now.
