Additional Information / Shotlist 1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920
Without immediate action,
life-saving activities

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,760
in many parts of Sudan may be put on hold.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,400
My name is Ahmed Abd-elrahman.

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,640
I'm the director of operations
for MSF

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,280
and Sudanese as well.

6
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,440
So this crisis touched me
at the personal level,

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,440
but also at the professional level.

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,320
I can tell you the situation in
the country is dire.

9
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,680
In Wad Madani alone,
our mobile clinic has seen

10
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,480
over a thousand consultations.

11
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,880
And our surgical team in Khartoum

12
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,480
have seen over 400 surgical interventions.

13
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,880
Many doctors and nurses
have fled the country

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,520
and the dedicated remaining
teams are stretched beyond their limit.

15
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,080
We urgently need to bring staff
in, we need more visas

16
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,000
and we need to be able to move the supply
where most is needed.

17
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,560
And we call on all parties to the conflict
to give access

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,440
to humanitarian operations

19
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,440
and to allow us
to assist the Sudanese population.
