Additional Information / Shotlist 1
00:00:00,166 --> 00:00:04,000
Sudan faces one of the most devastating humanitarian crises

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,833
that the world has seen for decades.

3
00:00:05,833 --> 00:00:07,883
Sudan is a country with a population

4
00:00:07,883 --> 00:00:09,933
of around 50 million people,

5
00:00:09,933 --> 00:00:13,300
and over half of that population face acute hunger needs.

6
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:17,333
What's more, Sudan has the world's largest displacement crisis.

7
00:00:17,333 --> 00:00:19,400
20% of the population of Sudan

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,066
had to flee for safety.

9
00:00:21,066 --> 00:00:22,566
These numbers are shocking,

10
00:00:22,566 --> 00:00:25,332
but it's important to remember that behind each one of these numbers

11
00:00:25,332 --> 00:00:29,132
is a person, a family, a mother,
a child, and a father.

12
00:00:29,132 --> 00:00:31,466
The health system has all but collapsed.

13
00:00:31,466 --> 00:00:33,849
The ability for people
to receive medical supplies,

14
00:00:33,849 --> 00:00:36,232
to be able to receive treatment

15
00:00:36,232 --> 00:00:39,899
is hampered through an inadequate humanitarian response

16
00:00:39,899 --> 00:00:43,999
and supplies that are being blocked by the warring parties.

17
00:00:43,999 --> 00:00:46,899
MSF has 1500 staff working in Sudan

18
00:00:46,899 --> 00:00:50,533
and we work with over 3300 staff from the Ministry of Health.

19
00:00:50,533 --> 00:00:54,033
We work with maternity care.
We work with pregnant women.

20
00:00:54,033 --> 00:00:57,633
We work with those who have
suffered trauma from this conflict.

21
00:00:57,633 --> 00:00:59,716
Over the next few days,
I'm going to be visiting

22
00:00:59,716 --> 00:01:01,799
some of our medical projects in Darfur

23
00:01:01,799 --> 00:01:04,466
to look at some of the remarkable work

24
00:01:04,466 --> 00:01:07,133
that our teams are doing in that part of Sudan.

25
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:09,116
And I hope to be explaining

26
00:01:09,116 --> 00:01:11,099
some of the complexities and opportunities

27
00:01:11,099 --> 00:01:14,099
of providing humanitarian response in this country.
