Sudan’s civil war, now in its third year, has become an unrelenting nightmare for millions of people. Tens of thousands are reported to have perished including over 100 this week and more due to drone strikes on a market and medical clinic on Saturday. 7.5 million people — many who fled their homes years ago — remain displaced.

Throughout the ongoing conflict, UNFPA has deployed mobile health clinics and midwives across Sudan, bringing critical health services to 586,000 people in communities with little to no access to care. But funding cuts left UNFPA with a 61% funding shortfall in 2025, forcing us to scale back essential support and services for vulnerable women and girls living through unending crises like Sudan’s.

This lifesaving work continues because supporters like you make gifts that help pregnant women, mothers, girls, and newborns in conflict regions like Sudan get the care they need. Will you join our humanitarian effort and make a gift to deliver lifesaving care, and restore hope and dignity in the most dire crises? [[link removed]?]

GIFT LIFESAVING CARE [[link removed]?]

UNFPA’s reproductive health clinic at Afat camp, in Sudan’s Northern State, has become a refuge to thousands of people who fled the city of El Fasher just before, or immediately after, it fell. Most are women and children who have survived siege, bombardment, hunger, and terror, are now displaced and face another set of dangers including attacks, famine, and sexual violence.

For many expectant mothers who visit the UNFPA clinic at Afat, it is their first time receiving prenatal care from a doctor or midwife. Some are early on in their pregnancy, while others are in their final trimester.

Will you make a gift now to sustain this essential care like at the Afat camp for women, girls, pregnant mothers, and infants across Sudan and worldwide? [[link removed]?]

In the heart of Sudan’s White Nile State, Kosti Maternity Hospital stands as a beacon of hope. This vital facility supported by UNFPA is a lifeline for the local community and serves a quarter of a million internally displaced people across the country. The hospital has been managing an average of 15 childbirths every day and thousands of deliveries annually.

Midwife Fatma , a pillar of Kosti Maternity Hospital for five decades, has witnessed the changing landscape of healthcare as crisis has taken hold.

Midwife Fatma has provided care at Kosti Maternity Hospital since 1974. She has seen patients endure the economic, psychological, and physical trauma of the conflict. "Some women come without money. We pay out of our pockets to help them with childbirth costs,” she shared.

Faj has been assisted through all of her five deliveries at Kosti Maternity Hospital.

“I am happy about the services provided here and the care from the midwives,” Faj, mother of five from Tawila told us. All her children have been born at Kosti Maternity Hospital — including one with serious complications. “My biggest problem was the bleeding, but thanks to the medical care at the hospital, they helped me.“

Sudan’s conflict has resulted in a growing demand for health services due to the increase of families fleeing the danger, electricity outages, and severe shortages of medical equipment and medicines that threaten lifesaving care.

UNFPA has equipped Kosti Maternity Hospital with essential medical supplies, including an anaesthetic machine, incubators, oxygen concentrators, ambu bags, and an ultrasound unit. These supplies have strengthened the hospital's capacity to provide lifesaving maternal and newborn health services, including reducing delays in emergency surgeries and saving the lives of babies born prematurely.

UNFPA’s installation of a solar power system at the hospital has also provided a much-needed alternative energy source, powering essential equipment. Still, the hospital relies on generators to bridge the gap, and they need your support to ensure continued access to lifesaving care.

You can be there for women and girls in crisis, no matter what. Rush a gift today to scale up lifesaving support, provide relief to 30 million people in Sudan, and alleviate suffering of millions more in crisis zones around the world. [[link removed]?]
