“I had to grab my two children and run”

Devastating violence, famine, and flooding have driven more than 10 million people from their homes. [USA for UNFPA]( Devastating violence, famine, and recent flooding have driven more than 10 million people from their homes in Sudan. Most pregnant women and new mothers cannot obtain health care, and 200,000+ more women are on the brink of famine. [Women in Sudan]( "Three days after I gave birth, we heard the sounds of shelling and gunfire near our home,” Tsabeeh told UNFPA. “I had to grab my two children and run.” Tsabeeh and her children are among 670,000 who fled to a neighboring state, and are now living in a former bus station that has been converted into a temporary shelter. UNFPA has set up six temporary health clinics to provide women like Tsabeeh with essential services. We’ve also distributed supplies, including those for emergency obstetric care and the clinical management of rape, and nearly 42,000 Dignity Kits containing basic hygiene items for women and girls navigating the humanitarian crisis. “When we arrived at the shelter, the mobile health team provided us with much-needed medicine,” Tsabeeh said. “The midwife didn’t leave my side until she was sure I was alright. Now, I visit them regularly to check on my health and my newborn’s well-being.” The sad reality is that across Sudan, there are still reports of women dying from pregnancy and childbirth-related complications, hunger, and disease. That makes your support today especially urgent. [We cannot look away from this crisis.
