Dr. Moeen, who works with Medecins Sans Frontieres at Bashair hospital, stated, 'Cases like this are common... Thankfully, that little girl survived. Others are not so lucky.' This highlights the dire situation for children's health amidst the ongoing violence.
Mohammed al-Hammadi, MSF's field coordinator, emphasized the grim reality, stating, 'Patients like Riyad cannot be evacuated because of the divisions in the city... There is a constant threat of violence, and continuous airstrikes in the city.' This underscores the challenges healthcare workers face.
The Bashair teaching hospital has treated 314 children for war-related injuries this year, illustrating the extent of the trauma experienced by the youngest victims of the Sudan conflict. This emergency shows an urgent need for medical assistance.
With limited capacity and no supplies for over a year, the hospital cannot carry out necessary procedures: 'Severe burns cannot be treated, and surgeries are stalled...' highlighting the significant impact of the ongoing war on medical care.
