Darfur - Tumblr Posts
“DARFUR/KHARTOUM, Sudan – Aisha* lost both her parents last year, aged just 17. “I was left alone at home. I couldn’t reach out to any of my relatives because the situation was extremely tense,” she told UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency.
“Then an armed militia took over my neighbourhood [in Khartoum], turning it into a stronghold and restricting all movement.”
The conflict in Sudan has ground on for over a year and spiralled into a humanitarian catastrophe. Estimates are that up to 12 million people have fled their homes, 2 million of them to unstable neighbouring countries, and famine is looming in multiple areas. Reports have soared of appalling sexual violence, wielded as a weapon to terrorize communities and exert control.
Aisha only left her house for essential supplies and food. “Although the soldiers saw me moving around, they did not harass or harm me at first.”
“One day, two soldiers came to check who was still in the area. They knocked on my door and asked if anyone else was in the house. Terrified, I told them I was alone. They seemed to be searching for fighters and left.”
But they would later return – this time without knocking. “They came in and pointed a gun at me. They told me not to scream or say anything – then they began to take off my clothes. One soldier held the gun while the other raped me, and then they took turns.””
This campaign has surpassed it's goal, but donations are still open. Please do not hesitate to support if giving is in your capacity.
Hey guys!
I know we are helping with families in Palestine, but can we PLEASE give Sudan the same energy for a few second?
Many people are displaced, starving, and trying to escape the RSF (Rapid Support Forces) by evacuating to neighbouring countries or overseas.
(If you do not know what is happening in Sudan, click here.)
I want to bring your attention to four (4) fundraisers. Three of them are from Tumblr users! I also have donated to these campaigns, so please consider doing the same! It will help them so much!
URGENT: Eman Abdelrahman (CHF26,218 / CHF38,475).
@emooz-8 | Verified and vetted by @/el-shab-hussein.
This is the link to her extended family's fundraiser!
She and her family are in IMMEDIATE DANGER! The RSF is closing in her location. They can harm her and her family at any time! Eman needs to evacuate NOW!
Sajida's five (5) families (£7,062 / £30,000).

This fundraiser is for Sajida's extended family.
They have been displaced from Khartoum for more than a year now and reside in a makeshift home in the scorching hot desert with no A/C and no windows. The temperature can go up 52°C (122°F)! (This is mentioned in their fundraiser).
The last update is that they have received their passports!
Randa and her family (€20,067 / €35,000).
@rnd8
Randa is in Rwanda so the campaign is to reunite her with her six family members! She has posted an update on June 26th, almost three weeks ago:
Her family has their visa rejected when they entered Rwanda, so they are staying in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, but only temporarily. They have to borrow money to cover the high cost of living as well as issue new visas for Rwanda. (This is mentioned in her fundraiser).
Elaf Babiker ($18,570 USD / $35,000).
Verified and vetted by @/el-shab-hussein.
Elaf is a medical student in her final year as well as the eldest daughter. She wants to evacuate to Rwanda.
Last update: July 25th!
The RSF has claimed more terrority and closed more borders. It will be much more difficult to leave Sudan via ground transportation. So the best option is to take a flight from Port Sudan to Ethiopia and then she and her family will be Rwanda.
My donation to Elaf's fundraiser is not in the donation match's post. So here is a screenshot.
Thank you for making it this far! I didn't mean to make this long. I try to condense it as much as I can! Either way, please have a look and match!
