260,000 people in North Darfur are on the brink of a massacre.

A genocidal army has surrounded the capital city, and fighters are closing in. Food and water have been cut off, and families are burying their loved ones in mass graves. If the city falls, thousands more people will need urgent humanitarian aid in the days and weeks ahead.

This is an emergency appeal for donations.

When the war first started in Sudan, neighbours and community leaders pulled together, creating hundreds of emergency food kitchens. As towns and villages were massacred and families ran for their lives, these kitchens became a lifeline, offering food and medical care in the face of horror and heartbreak.

But now they're also on the brink of collapse, with little help from governments or aid agencies. Simply put: without funding, these fragile lifelines will be gone.

That's why your donation is so critically important.

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 also shine a global media spotlight on the crisis in Sudan, building huge public pressure for governments to intervene and release a flood of humanitarian aid.

Every single donation will help keep hope alive in Sudan. Please give what you can now.
