Elda Kyando, medical team leader at Nduta Camp in the district of Kibondo for Doctors Without Borders (MSF), has witnessed the significant impact on the health of pregnant women and newborns through the ever-growing trust placed in the Maternal and Neonatal Health services MSF and its partners provide.

SUDAN: Medical Needs Soar after 500 Days of War

SUDAN: Medical Needs Soar after 500 Days of War

27 August 2024 marks 500 days since the War in Sudan, and the country began enduring its worst humanitarian crisis yet. This is a shameful moment for international humanitarian organisations and donors, who for over 16 months have failed to provide an adequate response to the country’s escalating medical needs, from catastrophic child malnutrition to widespread disease outbreaks. Heavy restrictions from both warring parties have drastically limited capacities, including ours, to deliver aid, says Doctors Without Borders (MSF)
