3 months of conflict in Sudan: meet Dr Nader Makki, WHO expert responding to the crisis

WHO supports the health system as three months of fighting disrupts access to health services

25 July 2023 – The three months-long conflict in Sudan has exacerbated the health situation with deadly consequences. When fighting broke out on 15 April 2023, the health system was already overwhelmed due to ongoing conflict, and hunger and disease outbreaks caused by the climate crisis, and it already had weak capacity to prepare for, prevent, timely detect, and respond to health emergencies.

With displacement, lack of access to food, water, electricity, cash and health care, the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance, including emergency health services has markedly increased; 24.7 million people, more than half the population, need humanitarian assistance, and 11 million people have been targeted for health response.

About 4 million children, and pregnant and breastfeeding women are acutely malnourished, and over 100 000 under-five children with severe acute malnutrition with medical complications need specialized care at stabilization centres.
