OVERVIEW

With the conflict in Sudan continuing, more than 5.3 million people have been newly displaced including more than one million people forced to flee to neighboring countries. Health conditions in the country remain extremely dire with reports of high malnutrition, disease outbreaks and shortages of medicines, electricity and water. The health care situation is also extremely worrying in the neighbouring countries of Chad,
Ethiopia and South Sudan as new arrivals continue across the respective borders to extremely remote areas with limited, or often non-existent medical structures in place. Aid agencies and national health staff are doing all that they can with the limited resources but continue to struggle to keep up with the health needs as the crisis continues.
