Amid Sudanese Clashes, Obstetrician Delivers Dozens of Babies.

Sudanese obstetrician Huwaida al-Hassan and her daughters have been delivering an average of five babies a day at the Albaan Aljadid Hospital in Khartoum, despite a critical shortage of equipment and medication, and even staff. With most hospitals and pharmacies shut, pregnant women have been unable to access healthcare facilities or medication to get the care they need to safely deliver their babies. The ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has left more than 550 people dead and 4,926 others wounded, with at least 60% of the capital’s healthcare facilities rendered out of service because of the violence.
