<<Ongoing war in Sudan blocks healthcare access
Women displaced by the ongoing civil war in Sudan cannot access healthcare services. Especially pregnant women and babies are at risk since many hospitals are out of service.
Sudan- The ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan also affect healthcare services. Looting and destruction of health centers have affected women, especially pregnant women in Sudan. Healthcare services are deteriorating since many hospitals are out of service. Due to armed conflict, maternal mortality rates and child deaths are on the rise in the country. According to reports, the armed conflict has already internally displaced more than 220,000 pregnant women because the armed conflict parties violate the provisions of the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
'I am seeking a safe place'
<I have no future. We suffer from health and education crises due to the conflict. My children are deprived of education,> said Nana Ali, one of the displaced pregnant women in Sudan. <I am seeking a safe place to give birth. Doctors told me that my baby would need an incubator; however, I will not be able to find an incubator in the current situation.>
She was worried about her children
Sabreen Siddiq was internally displaced twice while she was pregnant. <I first went to the city of Khartoum and then to the town of Merowe. I did not want to leave my home but I had to due to intense oppression. I was worried about my children and my unborn baby due to the clashes. Then, my husband also came to Merowe. My husband works now to earn a living for us. Our house was broken into after we left it. I gave birth to my child before my pregnancy was completed. Due to our poor financial condition, I could not access healthcare services.> >>

<<Reactions to UNICEF's decision to stop distributing drinking water to Shahba canton
UNICEF has decided to stop distributing drinking water to Shahba canton. Reacting to this decision, the women of Shahba canton warn that the decision will lead to the spread of infectious diseases.
Shahba- The people, who were forced to leave Afrin by Turkish state and Turkish-backed factions in 2018, keep resisting in Afrin/Shahba Canton despite all the difficult living conditions, the ongoing Turkish attacks and the siege imposed by the Syrian government. On February 15, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) decided to stop distributing drinking water to the towns and villages of Shahba, including the IDPs camps hosting thousands of displaced people of Afrin.
'UNICEF stops distributing drinking water'
Reacting to the decision of UNICEF, Alif Muhammed, Co-chair of the Local Administration and Municipalities Authority in Afrin/Shahba canton, said, <The displaced people of Afrin have been suffering from the Turkish attacks and the siege imposed by the Damascus (Syrian) government for six years. Now, UNICEF stops distributing drinking water to the region. This decision is far from the meaning and the principles of the organization.>
'It will lead to the spread of infectious diseases'
Pointing out that the people of Shahba suffer from the lack of drinking water, Alif Muhammed said, <We do our best to provide drinking water to the people, especially displaced people. UNICEF must reverse its decision. The civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, health centers, power and water stations in Shahba have been destroyed by Turkish attacks. Most underground water is not used for drinking water. If UNICEF does not distribute drinking water to towns, villages and IDPs camps, it will lead to the spread of infectious diseases, humanitarian crises in the canton.> In her speech, Alif Muhammed called on humanitarian organizations to put pressure on the Syrian government to lift the siege and allow fuel and other essential supplies into the canton without restriction.
'It is an inhuman decision'
Cihan Yusif is a displaced woman of Afrin living in Serdem camp. She described the decision of UNICEF as <an inhuman decision>.
