Speaking from Tawila, in North Darfur, John Cheb, ALIMA’s Project Coordinator, described how the crisis in the Middle East is further disrupting humanitarian operations in Sudan, where millions of people already face the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.
“Any disruption of supplies directly puts millions of lives at risk.”
He explained that rising fuel prices, currency depreciation, and inflation have increased the cost of transporting medical aid, while delays in supply chains create growing risks of shortages.
“We need supplies and fuel to attend to our patients.”
In Tawila, where hundreds of thousands of people have fled from El Fasher, ALIMA is supporting health services through one fixed primary health care facility and five mobile clinics. According to John Cheb, people arriving in Tawila have urgent needs, including injuries and malnutrition, that require access to free, quality health care.
