El-Fasher
Darfur

Ali Al-Bakar
Nurse supervisor, MSF
Our patients come to us in very bad shape.
This paediatric hospital
supported by MSF
is one of the few
remaining in North-Darfur
The [other] hospitals are closed, there is no paediatric care and no health care.
Most of the patients come to us late which leads us to put them in the intensive care unit.
Sudan has been at war
since the 15 April 2023

Most humanitarian organisations
have left Darfur
due to security concerns
and malnutrition has
drastically increased
The summary is those people have money issues because of the well-known war situation.
The result of all these issues whether it is security or financial to food issues, in the end, this creates health issues.
MSF teams are also running
a clinic in Zamzam IDP camp
where malnutrition rates are extremely high

Cheick Traoré
Project Coordinator, MSF

There is a massive crisis which needs urgent support from the international community, to mobilize a massive humanitarian response to face the scale of this current situation.

There have been no food distributions for almost one year now.

Dr Adam Ahmed Shomo,
Medical Activity Manager, MSF

Every two hours there is a child dying which is more than double the emergency threshold, and it is absolutely catastrophic.

If they have severe malnutrition, and they don't get treatment they have a high risk of death within three to six weeks.

MSF teams refer
severely malnourished children
from Zamzam camp
to the paediatric hospital in El Fasher

Nazir Mohajer Abdullah Mohamed
MSF doctor
The malnutrition rate is increasing in the hospital. The wards are small and can’t accommodate all cases of malnutrition. One ward is not enough to serve the whole state.
All beds in the El-Fasher
paediatric hospital
are fully occupied
The intensive care unit is over-capacity
There is an urgent need to scale-up
the response in North Darfur
