The devastating consequences of the civil war

The renewed civil war in Sudan, which broke out in 2023, is claiming more and more lives. Millions of internally displaced people have hardly any access to food or medical care. The hunger crisis is worsening and diseases such as malaria, cholera and measles are spreading. Between 70 and 80 percent of health facilities are out of service or only partially functional; the few remaining hospitals and health centres are completely overwhelmed.

There is a lack of medicines, qualified medical staff and essential medical equipment. The United Nations call the situation in Sudan the worst humanitarian crises in the world.

Support for hospitals in Sudan

For many years, action medeor has regularly sent medical aid shipments to Sudan to support the work of the remaining health facilities.

One long-standing recipient of action medeor supplies is the Mother of Mercy Hospital in the Nuba Mountains on the border with South Sudan, a region where many internally displaced people seek protection and help. The Mother of Mercy Hospital is a potential point of contact for around two million people. Many treatments or operations are only available here for those in need - supported by medicines and medical supplies from action medeor.

"The need for medical treatment has increased enormously, but at the same time our resources are severely limited. Without donations and aid supplies, we would not be able to maintain operations."
