Medical staff in Sudan are under siege.

The war in Sudan has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe impacting millions of civilians. Hospitals, pharmacies, and operating rooms have been relentlessly bombarded since the roiling conflict erupted in April 2023.

Al Fasher, the capital city of North Darfur State, has been particularly affected. The city had previously held four public hospitals, a military hospital, a police hospital and two private hospitals; six of the eight hospitals provided maternity health services.

Today, Al-Saudi Maternity Hospital is the last one standing, and it is only partially functional.

“We are here to support people psychologically, but we are tired,” Dr. Ahlam Ibrahim, head of the hospital’s mental health department, told UNFPA.

“However, we can’t stop. We are the only ones left to support the women and girls in Al Fasher. We need support now.”

Gifts from donors have helped UNFPA deliver lifesaving reproductive health and gender-based violence services for refugees, asylum seekers, and vulnerable host communities.

But with all of UNFPA’s U.S. funding agreements terminated, the future of these services remains uncertain. Please, rush an emergency gift to deliver lifesaving care in Sudan and crisis-stricken regions around the world. Women and girls urgently need your support.

Thank you for being there for women and girls.
