Background
After more than three years of war, Sudan is going through one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Nearly 13 million people have been forced to flee their homes. The war has caused a food crisis that extends beyond its borders and the collapse of much of the health system.
The key points
With the support of SSR, Swiss Solidarity (Chaîne du Bonheur) is running a solidarity campaign from 22 to 29 October 2026, RTS reports. It targets affected populations in Sudan, Chad and South Sudan.
A National Day of Solidarity takes place on Thursday 29 October in all four language regions. Donations can be made on bonheur.ch.
Sudan and South Sudan are among the countries with the most worrying food situation. Humanitarian organisations are severely short of funding.
Key figures
- Nearly 13 million : people displaced by the war in Sudan
- 22 to 29 October : duration of the campaign
What's next
