Sound on. The #refugee children and teachers were so keen to start classes as soon as the classrooms were built, even before all the teaching supplies had been delivered. Listen to the reaction when #girls and #boys saw blackboards being delivered. #thingswetakeforgranted

This week, my first 1000 SDG banknote. Crisp, beautiful, but saddening.. This note didn’t exist when I started here. 5 years ago it’d have been worth $142. Today it’s worth less than $2 #Sudan’s full of amazing people & agricultural potential Yet millions now struggle to eat

It’s infuriating and awkward as hell, but it’s been 100 days now and someone should say it. The global humanitarian financing system is unapologetically racist. As is the international protection system. A simple illustration … It’s a tale of two capitals, both hit by

A thousand #refugee families from #Tigray are moving into durable shelters this month in Um Rakuba camp in east #Sudan, and works for 1000 more will start shortly, ahead of the wet season Great participation of refugee and host communities, and support from @UNHCRinSudan and COR

300,000 people fled in 72 hours. There's so little for them to survive on; most live in makeshift shelters with no food. We're finishing needs assessments & starting distributions of relief items tomorrow in Sennar, then Gedaref. But we've little left. This is catastrophic.

Why is the world so casual about #Sudan’s casualties? The international community must do better in 2024 to help relieve and end Sudan’s terrible suffering.

This'll be unpopular, but it's been six damn months now and I'm seething... Six months of war, chaos, displacement, disease and looming famine, and the world scrolls past Sudan's suffering, the UN Security Council has barely met, and world leaders remain silent. Six months ago,

Today 4,000 kits of core relief items crossed and cleared from #Ethiopia into southeast #Sudan. It’s enough to improve the lives of 20,000 people, but the good news isn’t the number; it’s the route. We’ve been pushing for #humanitarian assistance to enter via as many border

How can this still fly under the f*ing radar?! More people than the entire populations of 🇬🇷🇵🇹🇨🇿🇸🇪🇯🇴🇭🇹🇨🇺🇩🇴 displaced by war in just 1 country. If they formed a country, it’d be larger than 110 other countries in the world. “Tell me the global system is racist without telling me”

🚨With over 10.9 million internally displaced, #Sudan faces the largest displacement crisis globally. Ongoing conflict exacerbates the situation. IOM is on the ground providing vital support to those affected. 👉 Learn more about our regional response: bit.ly/3Yqp0EY

In partnership with @eu_echo, a local bank, and local traders, we’re able to start distributing cash directly to #refugees who fled their homes in #Tigray. Most came with nothing, and are surviving on very little. We hope this offers them now some choice and dignity.

As many of us pause for winter breaks after a rough year, perhaps unable to spend it with your own families due to Covid, spare just a moment to think also of families now split apart and displaced by bitter violence, including #refugees who’ve fled into eastern #Sudan last month

A famine is just breaking. Ethnic cleansing, and potentially genocide. The largest displacement crisis in the world. Aerial bombardments on urban areas. Humanitarian aid facing extreme arbitrary restrictions, and funding is poor. The multilateral system so far has not

The largest #conflict #displacement crisis on the planet is also becoming its largest #food insecurity #crisis. One in five people suffering emergency levels of acute food insecurity in the world are in #Sudan. Sudan 🇸🇩 has the highest number of people in 'emergency' food
