Cologne/Port Sudan. In Sudan, torn apart by war between RSF paramilitaries and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), healthcare has also virtually collapsed. Up to 80% of healthcare facilities are no longer operational, and even hospitals-such as the one recently attacked in al-Fashir-are under threat. There is a severe shortage of medical professionals. To address this crisis, Malteser International is deploying a seven-member team of experts to Port Sudan. Their mission: to train the remaining healthcare staff, many of whom have only minimal qualifications. The humanitarian situation is catastrophic. Around 30 million people, more than half the population, are currently dependent on humanitarian aid.
