Today marks 500 days of relentless conflict in Sudan that has killed thousands and left millions in dire need of humanitarian assistance, with women and girls bearing the worst of the war.
In Sudan , communities already grappling with the horrors of war are now suffering from a rising tide of cholera brought about by widespread floods. CARE Sudan is working to support affected communities by rehabilitating an existing Cholera Treatment Center and supplying treatment beds and meals for patients.
"War shattered our peaceful life in Khartoum, and since April 2023, we have endured immense suffering," recounted Hawa, a 60-year-old mother, as she described the challenges she is facing when seeking help for her injured husband and daughter."When the war began, my husband was shot on his way to the market. Desperate for medical care, we fled with my pregnant daughter. The journey was a nightmare —long and grueling — with countless checkpoints and no reliable transportation.
"Conflict, hunger, disease, and floods have left millions trapped in devastation and are killing Sudanese by the day," said Abdirahman Ali."The world is 500 days late to silence the guns, allow peace to prevail, and scale up the response to growing humanitarian needs in Sudan." CARE has been operating in Sudan since 1979, implementing humanitarian and development programs focused on women's and girls' empowerment, gender justice, humanitarian action, and resiliency.
