“The situation is catastrophic.” Shocking numbers about Sudanese war casualties

Doctors Without Borders revealed “shocking” facts and figures about those injured due to the war that has been going on in Sudan for 15 months.

The head of the organization, Christos Christou, told the agency that a third of the people admitted to hospitals due to war-related injuries in Sudan “are women or children under the age of ten.”

Christo confirmed that the organization’s hospitals, which are the only medical facilities operating in most parts of the war-torn country, have been subjected to repeated attacks.

In his statements in Port Sudan, Christo said that many organizations chose “a conservative position, which is to wait to see how the conflict develops.”

He said, adding that many organizations face severe “financial challenges” as a result of Sudan’s chronic lack of funding.

Medics, who are often targeted in Sudan, say they have been abandoned, while humanitarian workers complain that work has become almost impossible.

Most relief organizations were only able to send aid to the eastern regions controlled by the army, while the United Nations accused both parties of creating “systematic obstacles” and “deliberately denying” access to humanitarian aid.
