The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a warning about a worsening humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where more than two-thirds of the country’s hospitals are no longer operational.
Health care facilities and staff are facing increasing reports of attacks.
For the hundreds of thousands of people who have fled the violence and crossed borders, life remains precarious.
The WHO reveals that disease outbreaks, such as malaria, measles, and dengue, which were previously well-controlled before the current conflict, are on the rise due to disruptions in basic public health services.
The organization also reports a growing number of incidents of sexual and gender-based violence against women and girls.
Although several attempts at peace talks have been made, none have resulted in a lasting ceasefire.
The WHO is calling on all warring parties to prioritize the protection of civilians, humanitarian workers, and health facilities. The situation requires urgent attention to prevent further deterioration of health and well-being in the country.
