In Sudan, where children clung to life, doctors say USAID cuts have been fatal
Briefly

The tragedy of a three-year-old boy, Omran, who died from treatable illness illustrates the dire humanitarian crisis in Sudan, compounded by a civil war. His mother, Islam al Mubarak Ibrahim, sought care for Omran but found insufficient resources due to U.S. aid cuts. More than half of Sudan's population needs assistance, with hospitals targeted in the conflict, exacerbating the already critical situation where disease and famine flourish. The story reflects the greater impact of political decisions on vulnerable lives amidst ongoing violence and instability in the region.
"He was just in my arms whimpering, 'I'm so sick, Mom,' I was holding him and trying to comfort him, and I prayed to God to save him."
"After more than two years of ferocious civil war, Sudan is home to the world's largest humanitarian crisis, the United Nations says."
