Darfur
Sudan

This is Mornei Bridge…
or what’s left of it

It was a lifeline,
connecting
humanitarian aid
from Chad
to millions of people
in Darfur states

Trucks can still pass.
But starting June…

Everything
will look like THIS

This road,
and many others
in the region,
will disappear
under water

This will hamper getting medicine,
vaccines, and food
to those who need
them most

And possibly cause
supply shortages
and disruptions of care

Samuel Sileshi
Emergency coordinator in Darfur

Sudan is already
the world’s largest
humanitarian crisis

Another faltering
humanitarian
response during
the rainy season
will exacerbate
people’s suffering

But this disaster
is preventable.
The solution
is obvious:
Preparedness

Humanitarian
supplies need to
be stocked now,
before the roads
disappear

This requires
immediate action

But poor
infrastructure,
delayed approvals
by the warring parties,

and an ineffective
humanitarian response
are slowing
things down

The clock is ticking.
We must act NOW

Because Sudan
can’t wait any longer

SUBTITLES

1
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,120
The rainy season
is the time of year

2
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,960
in between harvests
when supplies run low.

3
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,800
But malnutrition rates,
malaria cases

4
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,560
and other outbreaks
surge.

5
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,080
This is when humanitarian and medical supplies

6
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:49,720
are more needed on hand.

7
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,920
Institutional donors
must act fast,

8
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,120
prioritizing better preparedness

9
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,920
to give
humanitarian actors,

10
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,000
especially UN agencies,

11
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,360
the means to purchase,

12
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:33,040
ship and store supplies
in bulk

13
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,040
before the peak rainy season starts.
