Over 1 million people have been displaced in Sudan since armed conflict broke out two months ago.

Only one in four health facilities in Sudan’s capital city are fully operational, and those that are have been devastated by electricity cuts, water shortages, and a severe lack of critical medicines. But heroic midwives have been working around the clock to deliver lifesaving maternal healthcare — even traveling across active warzones to reach expectant mothers in their own homes.

“We are working all day every day across three hospitals. For women and girls who don’t have means of transportation, we go to their homes to ensure they give birth safely,” said Insaf, a midwife currently working in Sudan’s capital Khartoum.

Thanks to supporters like you, UNFPA has delivered enough lifesaving sexual and reproductive health supplies to support more than 11,000 safe births and more than 2,000 C-sections. But with 60,000 women expected to give birth in the next three months, more supplies are urgently needed.

Will you make an emergency gift to support women and girls living in war zones with critical supplies, resources, and lifesaving care? Millions who have been displaced across Sudan are counting on your support.

Sudan was already one of the world’s most impoverished countries before the conflict broke out, with one-third of the population in need of humanitarian assistance and facing acute hunger. But even despite mounting risks, UNFPA will continue to assist safe births, seek protection for vulnerable women and girls, and support midwives to save lives.

We need to close the gap to our Sudan Humanitarian Response funding goal to train more midwives, distribute more dignity kits, and reach more women and girls with the lifesaving care they need.

Please, consider donating today to deliver lifesaving care to women and girls living through humanitarian crisis in Sudan and around the world. Lives are hanging in the balance.

Thank you for being there for women and girls.
