International Organizations: War Turns Sudans Cities Into Hell

Follow-up - Moatinoon
8 international humanitarian organizations said in a joint appeal that the year-and-a-half-long war in the Sudan had turned the lives of people stuck in combat zones into "hell."
According to the official United Nations website, the appeal by the Norwegian and Danish refugee councils, CARE, Juul, Blanc, Relief, Save the Children and Solidarity International, about the efforts made so far to reduce violence and end the suffering of the Sudanese, says it is not enough.
The humanitarian disaster is worsening dramatically, with violence at its highest level since the outbreak of fighting in mid-April 2023, in parallel with the alarming spread of infectious diseases and high rates of malnutrition among children.
The appeal highlights in particular the tragedy of children, amid the absence of any indications of the end of the war, and while 26 million people in the country are trapped in hunger, about 34% of children suffer from malnutrition or severe malnutrition.
According to eight organizations, cities such as El Fasher have become "hell on Earth for thousands of women and children, and other vulnerable people".
Save the Children said death rates from cholera outbreaks in Sudan have risen to 3 times the global average, putting thousands of children at risk of illness, as infection numbers continue to rise, with the conflict hindering access to treatment as more than 80% of hospitals are discharged.
Humanitarian organizations face a twin crisis, operating under extremely complex security conditions and a severe lack of funding for humanitarian response, with the international community still providing only 1.3 billion, less than half the 2.7 billion requested by the United Nations.
