Sudan
MSF has been present in Sudan since 1979. Before the war broke out in April 2023, MSF teams were working in 11 states across Sudan. In 2022, MSF teams responded to multiple health issues during a turbulent year in Sudan, where violence and extreme weather caused mass displacement. There was a surge in fighting between fragmented armed groups in Darfur, Kordofan and Blue Nile states, causing further displacement.
Among many humanitarian efforts in Sudan, in 2022, MSF teams provided emergency and reproductive healthcare, malnutrition treatment for children, vaccination campaigns, ran mobile clinics and water and sanitation activities, and maintained HIV and TB programmes. When the war broke out in April 2023, many activities were either stopped or shifted to respond to the new emerging needs and emergencies across the country. Some activities continued for example in Darfur thanks to the efforts of our locally hired MSF staff, who continued to work despite the extremely difficult personal and environmental circumstances.
