"MSF Reports Child Dies Every Two Hours in Sudan Displacement Camp"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Al Jazeera English
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) warns of a catastrophic humanitarian situation in Sudan's Zamzam camp, where at least one child dies every two hours due to the collapse of humanitarian services during a nine-month war in North Darfur state. The charity estimates about 13 children die each day, with severe malnutrition cases at high risk of death within weeks if untreated. MSF is the only operational health provider in the camp, facing shortages of staff salaries, equipment, medicines, fuel, and water. The war and low rainfall have exacerbated the dire humanitarian crisis, with millions displaced and facing acute hunger.
