Doctors Without Borders (MSF) criticized the lack of political will to end the ongoing civil war in Sudan, which has persisted for over three years between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The conflict has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and millions displaced, creating one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Javid Abdelmoneim, MSF's international president, emphasized the dire situation in the Darfur region, where civilians are facing extreme violence, food insecurity, and a collapse of the healthcare system. With humanitarian funding cuts and logistical challenges, many in Sudan are left without assistance. Abdelmoneim pointed out that vaccine-preventable diseases like measles and meningitis are on the rise, threatening the lives of children. The situation is expected to worsen with the approaching rainy season, raising concerns about potential cholera outbreaks. MSF is striving to fill the gaps left by governments, but the overall humanitarian response remains inadequate.
