HIGHLIGHTS:
- Over 14.7 million people in Sudan face critical challenges in accessing essential healthcare, compounded by a reduction in functioning health facilities, shortages of medical supplies, and an increase in attacks on healthcare infrastructure.
- The ongoing conflict since April 2023 has displaced over 10.2 million people, with 7.9 million internally displaced within Sudan and 2.1 million seeking refuge in neighboring countries, further straining the already fragile health system.
- During the reporting period of June and July 2024, increasing attacks on healthcare led to 113 deaths and 56 injuries from 23 attacks as reported in the Surveillance System for Attacks on Health Care (SSA). 18 Health Facilities, 15 patients, 13 health personnel, 12 supplies, 7 warehouses, and 2 transport deliveries were impacted.
