'A nightmare that refuses to end. Sudan was in a humanitarian crisis before... now it's over the brink,' aid workers say.
"A nightmare that refuses to end. Sudan was in a humanitarian crisis before... now it's over the brink," aid workers say.
The deepening crisis has led to some parents marrying off their young daughters because they have decided they cannot support them, according to Mohammed Qazilbash, who leads Plan International’s humanitarian response team in Sudan.Breastfeeding mothers are struggling to produce milk due to their own lack of nutrition, Mr Qazilbash said, while families are “eating weeds and things from the wild because food is in such short supply”.
These shortages have already led to children dying of starvation. Around 700,000 children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition, according to Save the Children, which warns that 220,000 children and 7,000 mothers will die in the coming months without urgent intervention. “We’re struggling to get food in. It’s extremely challenging,” he said. “People eat whatever they can get their hands on; often its sorgum, or locally produced vegetables. That’s for those who can afford it. For those who can’t afford it, we can’t say how they’re surviving. The malnutrition situation, particularly in Darfur, is deteriorating rapidly.
Some of those who remain in Sudan are living in the remnants of their damaged homes or abandoned buildings, according to aid workers on the ground, while others are staying in overcrowded public buildings.
