After more than two years of civil war, more than 25 million people are now hungry and At least 20 million require emergency health services.

The United Nations World Food Program (Wfp) also warned that families displaced in certain regions have not received no help for three months because it announced that For the first time, financing deficits forced her to withdraw support in areas where he does not have access.

“” The magnitude of needs in Sudan is so great that we must make difficult decisions about who receives help and who does not. These are heartbreaking decisions to make“Said WFP Leni Kinzli said in an urgent call for more international funding to help all people affected by more than two years of war.

Children are particularly vulnerable, have warned the humanitarian workers, with malnutrition “Roit”especially among young people and their mothers.

Education the last victim

According to the United Nations UNFPA Reproductive Health Agency, and partners Working in education, around 13 million of the 17 million young people who have stayed in Sudan are now outside school.

This includes seven million people registered but unable to take the courses due to the conflict or the trip – plus six million school children who have not registered for the school year.

Nevertheless, Unfpa said that since this month, 45% of schools in Sudan – almost 9,000 – have now reopenedquoting the Global education cluster that the groups 60 UN and NGO entities.

And although the situation in Sudan remains so disastrous, going back to school might not seem to be a priority, but help agencies insist that without this, the impact on young lives can be devastating, given the quantity of additional support which can be provided in schools, in addition to learning.

In schools, helped reopen by a partner without a partner, for example, additional support includes meals, safe water training, sanitation and teachers to help young people treat their trauma.

Pick up the parts

From November 2024 to July of this year, More than two million people have returned to their old houses Through Sudan, some 1,611 locations.

Most of these returnees reached Aj Jazirah (48%), Khartoum (30%), Sennar (nine percent), the blue Nile (seven percent) and the white Nile (five percent). The United Nations Migration Agency (Iom)) Travel monitoring matrix Note that only about one percent went to the Nile River and Western Darfur.

A Distribution of OI data Indicates that around 77% (or 1.5 million) returned from temporary houses inside Sudan, while 23% (around 455,000) returned from abroad.

This is a fraction of the more than 4.2 million refugees that crossed neighboring countries since the war broke out on April 15, 2023, between the Sudanese armed forces (SAF) and the paramilitary support forces (RSF).

Other key conclusions of the Sudanese movement OIM having an impact on the 18 states:

• When the war broke out, people were mainly uprooted from Khartoum (31%), southern Darfur (21%) and northern Darfur (20%).
• The highest proportion of internal displaced people was in southern Darfur (19%), northern Darfur (18%) and the Darfur center (10%).
• More than half (53%) of people fleeing violence would have been children.

Case study: Life is moving away

Among the young victims of the conflict, Aysha Jebrellah, 18 months old, was admitted for treatment for severe acute malnutrition at the Port Sudan pediatric hospital.

His mother, Aziza, was alongside her daughter while medical teams provide vital nutritional support and approach the medical complications that Aysha has suffered, linked to her condition.

Aziza was moved from her Khartoum family when the conflict broke out more than two years ago, first fled to Kassala, then moving to Port Sudan where she lives with relatives.

She described how her daughter had diarrhea and fever for about two weeks before being admitted to the hospital. At that time, she had stopped eating and seemed to go away before their eyes.

“When she refused to taste anything and continued to weaken, I was afraid of losing her,” said Aziza. “” Now I hope she will recover. “”

To meet health needs in Sudan, the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO)) The call of $ 135 million is just a fifth funded. “This is only a fraction of what is necessary urgently”, the agency said.

In practical terms, South-South cooperation is a process in which developing countries-regardless of their real geographic location-seek to achieve their individual or shared development objectives thanks to the exchange of knowledge, skills and resources, in partnerships involving governments, regional organizations, civil society, the university world and the private sector.

The experiences and objectives of most countries in what is known as the world South, while they continue to trace their post-colonial future and strive to meet the development needs of their people.

In recognition of mutual cooperation between these nations, the United Nations has created the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (Safe) In 1974, supporting these efforts on the international scene and within the United Nations system.

Pioneer innovators

Before the International Day for South-South Cooperationmarked on September 12, Safe Director Dima Khatib said UN News That the countries of the South – which house 80% of the world’s population – have enormous levels of unexploited human and natural resources and enormous potential to advance development.

“We believe that the countries of the South world have not only challenges, but also solutions and innovations and that we must support, encourage and highlight their pioneering role in these areas,” she said.

Nevertheless, the challenges are real and intimidating, in particular the increase in geopolitical tensions, debt charges, an extended digital divide and social complexities, at a time of decline in humanitarian funding and development of developed countries.

This severe landscape motivates development countries to seek funding for development by cooperating more closely with each other.

Ms. Khatib underlines the recent studies carried out by his office which demonstrate that South-South cooperation has the potential to change the economic equation, to create jobs and to strengthen local capacities, in countries ranging from Ethiopia, to Paraguay, Rwanda and others.

Exciting potential in the Middle East

In the Middle East, it is bearing fruit in areas such as renewable energies, digital transformation and adaptation of climate change. For example, Morocco’s experience in large -scale solar farms has been used as a model of renewable energy projects in certain parts of sub -Saharan Africa.

Ms. Al-Khatib says that the Gulf countries provide not only financial support in times of crisis, but have also become leaders in sharing their expertise.

It underlines Saudi Arabia, which shares its vast experience of the purification of seawater with the countries confronted with drought and in the city of Masdar with the United Arab Emirates, which conducts research – and develops capacities that benefit the countries of the world.

The UN official also notes that the Islamic Development Bank has been a key engine of progress, facilitating the exchange of knowledge between its 57 Member States and support initiatives such as advanced irrigation technologies, sustainable agriculture and climatic resilient infrastructure.

A driving force for multilateralism

Ms. Khatib notes that the countries on the world of world are not only meeting, but also demonstrates their ability to take the lead, citing the India-Un Development Partnership fund and the India-Brazil-South Africa fund, which are both organized by UNSOSC.

She underlines that this demonstrates the power of collective action and sends a strong message that cross -border cooperation is both possible and effective.

In the midst of the tense international political climate that the world testifies today, South-South cooperation can be an engine to renew and strengthen multilateralism, but it does not replace cooperation between all countries.

The senior United Nations officials says that there can be no gap between the countries of the Northern world and the world of world, but rather, “we must build bridges”, a task to which the United Nations is well suited, given its main mandate to treat all countries as well.

Women and children face increased risks, while operational challenges – including restrictions on United Nations female staff – threaten rescue efforts.

The twin earthquakes, measuring 6.0 and 6.2, struck on August 31 and September 4, flattening entire villages in the provinces of Kunar, Nangarhar, Laghman and Nuristan. Mountain lands and landslides have blocked key roads, leaving air transport as only reliable access.

The evaluations indicate that more than 6,700 houses have been destroyed or damaged, forcing most families to take shelter in the open air without privacy, drinking water or basic services.

Ensure critical health care

UnfpaThe United Nations Reproductive Health Agency has Health teams deployed in the hardest affected areasProviding maternal and reproductive health care, psychosocial support and advice. Until now, more than 9,500 people have received help.

“Women and children in particular are extremely traumatized,” said a psychosocial advisor. “Our goal is to support their emotional and mental health and provide all the possible help, including drugs and dignity kits.”

Among the estimates affected by UNFPA, some 11,600 pregnant women face increased risk due to limited access to health services.

“For pregnant women, a natural disaster can transform an already difficult period into a deadly crisis,” said UNFPA representative Kwabena Asante-Nutiamah.

World Health Organization (WHO)) Mobile teams have been deployed To provide trauma care, maternal and child health services, mental health support, vaccinations and emergency nutrition.

The agency also sent 43 tonnes of medical supplies and provided more than 4,500 consultations through its clinics.

Sudan: The UN envoy goes to the region in the call for a dialogue to peace

The personal envoy of the UN Secretary General for Sudan, Ramtane Lamamra, went to East Africa to remedy the current civil conflict and to put pressure for negotiations to a peace agreement.

In a job Earlier this week, Lamamra called fighters and political actors in Sudan “to engage in a constructive dialogue leading to a lasting solution”.

The aim of the visit is to progress on the protection of civilians and to strengthen multilateral mediation efforts in the country.

Push for high -level consultations

To achieve this, he works with the African Union to organize an advisory group meeting of ministerial level in Addis Ababa.

While rival soldiers continue to attack Civilians and vital infrastructure, many displaced people and other communities receive reduced food assistance, or not at all.

“We continue to repeat our calls at the end of this conflict which left 25 million people hungry in a sharp way,” the spokesman of the UN secretary general, Stéphane Dujarric said on Thursday at a press conference.

The anniversary of September 11 of September 11, is held with New Yorkers 

Marking the 24th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, the UN reaffirmed its sustainable solidarity on Thursday with the inhabitants of New York, the city where it has had its headquarters for almost 80 years.

“New York has welcomed the United Nations for 80 years and houses many of our colleagues, as well as diplomats, staff and of course all secretaries general. We continue to solidarize with the residents of New York, as we did 24 years ago, “said UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric.

The attacks on the World Trade Center twin towers in downtown Manhattan have made nearly 3,000 lives in more than 90 countries and have made thousands of more injured people.

Decades later, survivors and first stakeholders continue to face long -term health challenges, including respiratory diseases, cancer and mental health struggles.

A place to call at home

“New York City has welcomed our UN headquarters for decades and is the place that many colleagues call at home – so me,” said Secretary General António Guterres.

“Today, my thoughts are with all those who have lost dear beings on September 11 and with all the inhabitants of New York,” he added, in an article on social networks.

The UN stressed its continuous commitment to commemorate the worst terrorist attack in American history, honor the victims and support New Yorkers while the city continues its trip to resilience and healing.

UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said People are in motion again after Israel has placed the whole city under travel orders. Aid Partners recorded more than 25,000 trips between Sunday to Wednesday.

Some critical services have already been suspended while certain humanitarian facilities have undergone serious damage, disturbing operations and providing essential services.

Aid Partners Suspend activities

“Our partners working on health, indicate that some of them had to suspend activities in primary health centers, while partners working on nutrition say that 12 external therapeutic sites out of 49 interrupted the services in the middle of the current air strikes in Gaza City,” he said,

At least two community kitchens also suspended operations and three others had to move to the city.

In addition, United Nations partners working on education fear that 95 temporary learning sites in the north of Gaza serving around 25,000 children can run a risk of imminent closure due to command of travel and continuous insecurity.

Malnutrition of children worsen

United Nations Child Rights Agency Unicef a also warned This child malnutrition in the Gaza Strip continues to worsen at an alarming rate.

The percentage of children identified as blew in an acute way increased to 13.5% in August, compared to 8.3% in July – or 12,800 boys and girls.

Mr. Dujarric said that UNICEF worked to increase the entry of essential nutrition supplies and distribute them, alongside nutritional partners, in around 140 sites through the Gaza Strip.

“While stocks of ready-to-use therapeutic foods have recently increased, the current quantities of other critical nutrition supplies for infants and pregnant women and breastfeeding are fully insufficient,” he said.

Meanwhile, almost half of all functional hospitals are located in Gaza City, including half of all the beds of the intensive care unit for the entire Gaza Strip, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

The Israeli offensive already underway, the Gaza Strip cannot afford to lose these remaining facilities, said the United Nations Agency.

Obstacles to help delivery continue

These developments occur while delays and obstacles to humanitarian movements within Gaza continue.

The missions still take long hours to finish, even when they are approved in advance by the Israeli authorities, which means that the teams have no choice but to wait on roads which are often dangerous or congestioned.

In addition, the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs Coordination (Ochha) recently observed an increase in the refusal of the participation of Palestinian staff in the missions, including drivers and staff.

Mr. Dujarric noted that refusals are often communicated at the last minute, resulting in operational delays because the alternatives must be quickly identified.

“What we need is complete facilitation of the work and movement of humanitarian actors in and throughout the Gaza Strip. This must include unhindered access to the north and south, “he said, adding that” each delay can cost lives “.
