People across large parts of Sudan, especially in Darfur, have experienced ongoing violence, including intense urban warfare, gunfire, shelling and airstrikes. Our teams are treating patients with injuries caused by explosions, bullets and stabbings. Healthcare workers and facilities have been attacked and looted.
An estimated 10 million people have been displaced, including 2 million who have sought safety in Chad, Egypt and South Sudan (UNHCR). Displaced people’s camps lack adequate healthcare and humanitarian aid; there are catastrophic levels of malnutrition.
With very few international aid organisations on the ground, the humanitarian response is far from adequate. Restrictions imposed on humanitarian organisations by the Sudanese authorities further isolate people in need of assistance.
