❗⚠ Crisis in Sudan: Urgent Call for De-Escalation in El Fasher El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, is at the epicenter of escalating conflicts in #Sudan, now a battleground between the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. El Fasher shelters a vast number of civilians whose survival hangs by a thread. An extended siege—or worse, a takeover—could result in catastrophic loss of life and severe human rights abuses. As the conflict deepens, the international community must intervene to prevent a humanitarian disaster in El Fasher and support efforts towards a sustainable peace in Sudan.

A perfect storm of the army and Rapid Support Forces blocking humanitarian aid, extreme violence, depleted harvests, soaring prices, and a near criminal lack of international attention has brought Sudan to the brink of an unfathomable humanitarian catastrophe. "A tipping point at which large-scale hunger transitions into large-scale death has likely already been reached in parts of the country in May." Read more and get involved: https://lnkd.in/etJMKRBf

After nine years of conflict, Yemen sees a glimmer of hope as truce conditions largely hold in 2023, raising the prospect of a peaceful settlement. However, the humanitarian needs in Yemen remain immense in 2024. Humanitarian Overview: ✖ 18.2 million people, over half the population, require humanitarian assistance and protection services. ✖ 17.6 million people face food insecurity. ✖ Nearly half of all children under five suffer from moderate to severe stunting. ✖ 4.5 million people are displaced, many enduring multiple displacements over the years. Key Issues: ⭕ Economic Deterioration: The severe decline in economic conditions exacerbates vulnerabilities. ⭕ Infrastructure Damage: Extensive damage to civilian infrastructure limits access to essential services. ⭕ Collapse of Services: The breakdown of essential services continues to drive large-scale needs.

Right now, this is the largest displacement crisis on the planet. One of the worst seen in decades. A brutal civil war has forced more than 11 million people to flee their homes. Men, women and children are suffering massacres and violent injuries. And, according to the World Food Programme, over 25 million are now facing acute hunger. Healthcare is under direct attack In June 2024, the World Health Organization estimated that, at best, only 30 percent of healthcare facilities are still functioning in Sudan. Humanitarian aid is being deliberately blocked From blockades that prevent emergency supplies crossing frontlines to the denial of travel permits for humanitarian workers, the consequences are clear and dangerous. Medical supplies are running out There is a catastrophic food crisis The conflict has disrupted food supply across Sudan and people have been cut off from their jobs, meaning millions now face a new crisis: hunger. In March and April, MSF found that almost a third of children here were suffering from malnutrition, as well as a third of pregnant and breastfeeding women. For both groups, this is double the ‘threshold’ rate considered an emergency. In response, we established a field hospital to provide urgent care. The crisis has spread The crisis is not confined to Sudan. Millions of people have made the desperate decision to seek safety in neighbouring countries and become refugees. Civilians are being targeted The accounts paint a picture of violence, looting, the burning of homes, sexual violence and massacres, rooted in political and economic rivalries along ethnic lines. Almost 20 years after the war in Darfur and a campaign of ethnic cleansing, there are now dangerous echoes in this new crisis. MSF has shared our evidence at the highest levels and will continue to raise the alarm about the situation in front of us. Sudan has been abandoned In the middle of devastating violence and suffering, millions of people have been abandoned. Including by the UN.

🌍 Escalating Crisis in Sudan: Thousands Displaced Amid Violence Unity Beyond Borders is deeply concerned about the escalating violence in Sudan’s Al Jazirah State, which has forced over 135,000 civilians to flee their homes in just ten days. Vulnerable groups, especially women and children, are facing grave risks. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has condemned these attacks and urgently called for a ceasefire to ensure humanitarian aid reaches those in need. We stand with the international community in calling for civilian protection, accountability for perpetrators, and immediate access to life-saving assistance. #UnityForPeace #HumanRights #SudanCrisis #HumanitarianAid #ProtectCivilians #SDG16 #SDG1

In Sudan, the humanitarian situation remains dire. The ongoing crisis has resulted in the displacement of over 8 million people within Sudan and neighboring countries. The acute shortages of essential resources such as food, water, and fuel, along with a seriously degraded healthcare system, are a stark reminder of the severe hardships people in Sudan are facing. The IFRC network teams together with the Sudanese Red Crescent continue to bring hope and life-saving support to displaced and affected people. The IFRC launched two emergency appeals which are critical in providing aid and relief to those in need. Unfortunately, both of them are severely underfunded. We cannot let Sudan become another forgotten crisis. https://bit.ly/3nmRr7b

International reactions have been swift, with calls for an independent investigation and renewed efforts for a ceasefire. The United Nations has expressed alarm over the escalating violence and its toll on civilians, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding vulnerable populations. As the cycle of violence continues, the need for a lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is more urgent than ever. The recent tragedy underscores the critical importance of prioritizing peace and humanitarian support to prevent further loss of life. Pakology--

The humanitarian crisis in northern Gaza deepens as Israel’s siege enters its 19th day, with airstrikes causing widespread destruction. In Beit Lahiya, Gaza’s civil defense recovered at least two bodies from the ruins of a residential building, reflecting the severity of the situation. Gaza’s Health Ministry has urgently called for humanitarian aid, emphasizing the need for blankets as the region prepares for winter. The few remaining blankets are being used as shrouds, highlighting the dire conditions for civilians. Displacement continues, with thousands fleeing Beit Lahiya, only to encounter further devastation. Reports of Israeli soldiers detaining and assaulting men add to the chaos as civilians struggle to find safety. The conflict has also spread to Lebanon, with Israeli strikes in southern Beirut and Tyre. As the death toll rises, Gaza faces one of the most severe humanitarian crises in recent history, with no signs of relief. 🔍 Read more on our website https://lnkd.in/gQdB8HVD #swifteradio
