It has been nearly a year since the new conflict erupted in Sudan. But even as this tragedy wages on, we are hopeful. This Easter Season, we think of God’s sacrifice, and continue to follow the call to not give up — but to hold on with hope, to pray, serve, and love our neighbors in Sudan. Before this new conflict began last April, the region faced grim statistics – nearly 7 million school aged children were out of school, 3 million children under age 5 suffered from malnutrition, and more than 3 million women and girls faced the imminent threat of gender-based violence. In an already precarious situation, violence has devastated the region further. Join us in our mission to spread awareness of what’s being called the “Forgotten War.” These children and their suffering are anything but forgettable.

After 14 months of intense fighting, the situation in #Sudan is dire: 25.6 million people face crisis levels of food insecurity, meaning these households are skipping meals or using vital resources to meet food needs. 8.5 million people are facing emergency levels of hunger. They have large gaps between meals and are using all possible strategies to access food. 750,000 people on the brink of famine. In these areas, malnutrition is widespread and people are dying of starvation. The conflict in Sudan is creating unlivable conditions for the population, hunger being one of the most widespread. Our Children in Crisis Response Fund helps children and families fleeing crises, including those that have fled Sudan to refugee camps in neighboring Chad. Your donation today means more children can access not just food and water, but also blankets and emergency first aid supplies.

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has found that 25.6 million people across #Sudan will likely experience high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above) between June and September 2024.    We must not forget that this is also a child protection crisis. When food is scarce and families are forced to flee their homes, children, especially girls, are often at greater risk of gender-based violence and being taken out of school. To save as many lives as possible, all forms of humanitarian support must be scaled up, now. And most crucially, NGOs need unimpeded humanitarian access to all communities, across all of Sudan, so that we can reach children and their families.

As of Wednesday morning, more than 6,000 Libyans have died after torrential rains flooded the city of Derna, Libya, earlier this week. Libyan authorities estimate that 25 to 45 percent of the city’s population is missing or displaced. Haunting scenes of massive destruction and deserted buildings emphasize the scale of the tragedy – and the need for immediate support. Baitulmaal is mobilizing an emergency response with local teams on the ground to reach Libyan families in need. We must pull together to help these families. So many vulnerable people are in need of your support.

Humanitarian response attempts face many challenges and obstacles, but despite all these challenges, grassroots and social initiatives such as emergency rooms, hospices, and charity kitchens - with the support of philanthropists and some organizations - continue to provide food aid to many citizens exposed to hunger and diseases resulting from malnutrition. We repeat in the campaign (A corridor that saves a soul) Calling donors, organizations and those interested for more support, and the Sudanese government to open corridors and facilitate procedures for the passage of aid, and to all parties to the conflict in order to facilitate passage, so that we avoid the catastrophe of famine #humanitarian_corridors_save_lives#humanitarian_corridors_save_lives 

Massive killings and human suffering continue in #Gaza. 45% of all housing units have been destroyed or damaged, and entire neighbourhoods have been reduced to rubble. 219 educational complexes have been hit. Among them, UNRWA schools that were being used as emergency shelters for the internally displaced. 76 attacks have been reported on health care. 20 hospitals and 24 ambulances have been affected. As a result of the lack of food, many internally displaced people are only having one meal per day. Malnutrition is a real risk, especially for children and pregnant and lactating women. Water is running out. The electricity blackout and the lack of fuel make it impossible for water facilities to operate. In view of this catastrophic situation, Mercy Hands is striving to provide food and water to the most affected. With the HEART for Gaza operation on the ground, we are working with national entities to provide the aid through the Rafah border. Check out our fundraising campaign and help us alleviate the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza. https://gofund.me/c8c5d346 #CeasefireNOW #Conflict #humanitarianaid #humanitarianaccess #donate #humansuffering #humanity #aid #advocacy #humans #victims #warcrimes #charity #ngo #HEART #operation #IHL #donation #philantropy #civilians Picture source: UNRWA

Haiti is remaining in a long-standing political, security and humanitarian crisis. Last year, there was an outbreak of cholera. More than half of Haitians are chronically food insecure, and 22 percent of children are chronically malnourished. Over a third of the population lacks access to clean water and two-thirds have limited or no sanitation service. Gang violence and the cholera outbreak may keep over 2.4 million children out of classrooms, UNICEF warned. Our hearts are with Haiti. Our hearts are with the numerous people affected by the state of emergency measures, violence and insecurity. We are hoping and praying for stability and peace in Haiti. We are doing our best to continue working to foster health and development opportunities for the people of the remote Grand-Bois region. We need your help. Grand-Bois needs your help. Haiti needs your help. www.servehaiti.org 2024 "Health is Hope" fundraising campaign https://lnkd.in/ejnjz6Hu #ServeHAITI #CollaborateWithUs #MakeADifference #PartnershipOpportunities #YouCanHelp #Fundraising #Sponosrship #Partnership #impact #fundraisingeventhaiti #empowerment #bethechange #haiti #GrandBois #healthishope
