Sudan: Assistance in White Nile camps short of meeting high needs

Since June 2023, MSF teams have been supporting the provision of primary healthcare in three Ministry of Health (MoH) run clinics in the White Nile state camps of Um Sangour, Al Alagaya and Khor Ajwal, which hosts Sudanese people displaced from Khartoum. MSF teams are providing general healthcare, assisting patients with medical referrals, treating suspected measles cases and supporting the inpatient therapeutic feeding centre at the hospital outskirts of the Al Kashafa refugee camp.

The scale of the needs in the White Nile state camps – hosting refugees and internally displaced people – are immense and are in urgent need of scale up. The assistance offered in the camps fall short of meeting the needs of the high number of people requiring food support, water, proper shelter, as well as response for the management of seasonal diseases.
