Facing one of the worst hunger crises worldwide, midwives in Sudan are faced with the incomparable challenge of providing safe and quality care for pregnant women and children.
Health workers like Namareq remain on the frontline to support maternal and newborn care to ensure children and mothers are safe . With the largest internally displaced population in the world, mounting pressure on the healthcare system needs more support than ever before.
"When we think about the kinds of facilities that pregnant mothers are delivering newborn babies in, think about very basic setups, they may not have access to power or water. This means that midwives are unable to provide a clean and safe environment for mothers to give birth, which hugely increases the risk of infection. You know, midwives are telling us that they're seeing up to twice as many mothers coming to deliver births in the functioning health centres that are there.
While such widespread conflict impacts every facet of life, women, and pregnant women in particular, are often the hardest hit. Professor of International Relations at the Australian National University Bina D'Costa says the risks to children can last generations. International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan says his office is deeply concerned about the evidence of expanding attacks on civilians.
