Despite the conflict’s ending, a great proportion of Sudanese nationals are still either displaced or having difficulties accessing basic things like food, water, and healthcare. To date, many charities that deal with humanitarian issues have not been completely restored, leaving a crucial void for life-saving services. The United Nations affirm that already 8 million migrants are compelled to leave their homes several times and are displaced. Shockingly, one part of the population, i.e., more than 50% of the population that is about 25 million people, needs humanitarian assistance in this country.
Whilst the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) forces are at war, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) teams continue to stay alert 24/7 providing the necessary lifesaving medical treatment to displaced and affected populations. MSF has successfully reinstated vital departments inside the epicentres of acute malnutrition cases— in the Zalingei Central Darfur State Teaching Hospital— the emergency, maternity, inpatient therapeutic feeding centre, and paediatric care. MSF treated 900 emergency cases, admitted 400 of paediatric patients and had almost 100 safe deliveries in the MSF in April only.
The MSF’s centring actions as well as the hope they bring to this vulnerable situation ought to draw the attention of everyone and more support required to aid Sudan’s worsening humanitarian crisis.
