Women and girls across Sudan are caught in the crosshairs of conflict amidst the world's biggest displacement crisis right now. “I fled the town with my mother, my sister, and my little son after the town was attacked,” said Manal, a young woman in her twenties. “We traveled overland for two days… I felt very ill there because I had recently given birth by C-section.”
“Unfortunately, our house and all other houses in the neighborhoods were robbed. So, I am very afraid for the rest of my family,” Manal said. Sudan has the largest number of displaced people in the world, including the world’s biggest child displacement crisis, according to UN Women. “We just fled with the clothes we are wearing… winter brings many diseases,” Manal said, saying that her son and many other children were ill. “I do not have the money to take him to the hospital… I hope the war will stop and there will be safety and stability so that we can return to our homes and families.” UNFPA is reaching women and girls with violence intervention and lifesaving care thanks to your emergency gifts. But while aid has reached millions, the situation remains dire for women and girls. Humanitarian assistance is slow to reach those in need due to insecurity, looting, bureaucratic impediments, poor phone connectivity, fuel and power shortages, lack of aid, and limited technical and humanitarian staff.
Thank you for always being there for women and girls. — USA for UNFPA |
