The Sudan Crisis

Latest update

We now have some footage from inside South Hospital in El Fasher, North Darfur, that we can share, that truly depicts how serious the situation is there.

The update from today is that the total number of wounded has increased to 354 – that’s an additional 75 casualties since yesterday. The total number of deaths in the hospital has risen to 47. A truly amazing thing is that people are coming to the hospital to donate blood voluntarily to help the wounded. There have been 69 blood transfusions since Saturday, and 154 units of blood have been donated. Some people have needed more than one unit of blood to save their life
