Re: Sudan

You might have missed my last email, so I'm following up because the situation in Sudan is beyond critical. Please don't look away. More than 150,000 people have now been killed as a vicious civil war descends into full-blown genocide. Rival armies are committing mass atrocities, killing hundreds of people at a time. Millions have run for their lives, creating the biggest humanitarian crisis on Earth. So much blood has been spilled, you can literally see it in satellite images from space. Thanks to the generosity of Avaaz members like you, we've already delivered over 2.1 million dollars in humanitarian aid. It's providing food and emergency shelter for over 300,000 people, and counting. But the crisis is only getting worse, and governments are doing almost nothing. That's why Avaaz is stepping up our response, and we're counting on your support. Together we'll help to unlock a flood of humanitarian aid, push to protect civilians fleeing famine and violence, and expose those fuelling the war for their own benefit. Avaaz is entirely member-funded. Every action we take is powered by small donations from people around the world. You are one of our most active members -- now please take the next step of starting a regular donation with Avaaz. You'll be helping to power this life-saving work in Sudan, and everything Avaaz does to fight for human rights in 2026. Sudan is screaming. Let's make sure the world can't look away. Please donate what you can now:

Sudan

Re: Save this doctor

Dear friends, One nurse from Gaza was just released from Israeli detention – but Dr Abu Safiya and about 90 other medics are still behind bars, and could be enduring torture as you read this. Let's speak up for their release – join over 460,000 others from across the world. Sign the petition Here's the email we sent earlier with some more information: Dr Abu Safiya is a hero. He sacrificed everything to save lives in Gaza – and now Israel is holding him, and reportedly torturing him, without charges. Doctors around the world are rising to free him and other Gaza medics. Let's join them: sign and share now to get them back home to their families: They killed his son. They bombed his hospital. They blocked the supplies he used to treat children screaming in pain. But he wouldn't stop saving lives – until Israeli forces imprisoned and reportedly tortured him. Now he and about 90 other medics are being held in detention, many taken while caring for their patients. Five have reportedly died behind bars, and others are suffering assaults and beatings. As world leaders focus on the ceasefire plan, doctors across the globe are rising to demand freedom for their brave colleagues, so they can keep thousands of wounded children in Gaza alive. Let's join them: add your name to call for the release of Dr Abu Safiya and his colleagues, who showed what humanity is capable of, and help bring them home to their families:
