JAKARTA - At least 15,000 people have died and injured 33,000 people recorded from the victims of the Sudanese conflict which has taken place from April 2023 to date. This data was revealed by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Wednesday, May 8.
He added that there are 15 million people who need humanitarian assistance.
More than 15,000 deaths and 33,000 injured victims were reported since the start of the conflict in April last year. Fifteen million people need urgent humanitarian health assistance, Tedros said, citing ANTARA, Thursday, May 9.
The conflict in the African country has displaced nearly nine million people and half of them are children, whose access to health services are very limited, he said.
He also mentioned that more than 70 percent of hospitals in the state were affected by conflicts and nearly half of health facilities in other states were no longer functioning.
"Hospitals that are still operating are overwhelmed by people seeking treatment, most of whom are internally displaced," Tedros said.
