As the conflict in Sudan marks three years, the Irish public - through Irish Aid - has funded Concern’s work supporting nearly 400,000 people affected. This includes life-saving essentials such as healthcare, shelter, food, clean water, and child education. We are supporting over 144,000 people in Sudan, and approximately 255,000 Sudanese refugees in neighbouring Chad and South Sudan. The humanitarian crisis in Sudan is the largest in the world today; 72% of the population – 34 million people – require humanitarian assistance. The situation remains dire, fuelled by an ongoing conflict which shows little hope of resolution. The Irish government has consistently recognised the suffering of people in Sudan and raised the issue internationally. Representatives from Irish Aid and the Irish Embassy to Sudan recently visited Ádre refugee camp and the village of Sira, where we are supporting people coming from Sudan to Chad and the host communities into which they arrive. Reka Sztopa, Concern's Regional Director for West Africa and the Sahel, said: “The Sudan crisis has slipped out of the headlines despite the staggering needs both inside Sudan and in neighbouring countries. “It is therefore very much welcome that the Irish government, through their financial support and advocacy, are working to keep the Sudan crisis and its resolution high on the international agenda.” Read more here 👉 https://bit.ly/3QnTXrT Embassy of Ireland, Kenya
