UN: “Dire” Health Situation in North Darfur

Sudan Events – Follow-up

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that humanitarian partners in North Darfur, Sudan, are reporting a dire health situation, especially in the state capital, El Fasher, and in the surrounding displacement camps.

The office added that the ongoing hostilities have caused waves of displacement, putting additional strain on an already fragile healthcare system, which is struggling to meet even the basic needs of the population.

OCHA further pointed out that over 200 healthcare facilities in El Fasher are out of operation, with severe shortages in medical personnel, essential medicines, and life-saving supplies.

The office stated that humanitarian partners are attempting to provide medical supplies, but their efforts are still hindered by security concerns and access restrictions.
