Highlights

• Two months since the escalation of violence in Sudan, insecurity continues to make the delivery of health care increasingly challenging. In Khartoum, fewer than one fifth of health facilities are fully functional. Insecurity is preventing patients and health workers from reaching hospitals; health facilities, assets and staff are being attacked.

• Overall, the greatest public health risks remain the ongoing violence resulting in trauma injuries, major disruptions to health care and repeated attacks on the health system, and poor access to clean water, sanitation and food, increasing the risk of malnutrition and water- and vector-borne diseases.
