A donation of $100,000 has been made by the Bahrain Red Crescent Society (BRCS) to its Sudanese counterpart as part of ongoing international humanitarian relief efforts.
The contribution will support the Sudanese Red Crescent Society in acquiring specialised equipment aimed at combating epidemics in regions facing a high prevalence of disease outbreaks linked to environmental pollution.
“This support aims to strengthen health response capacities, contribute to curbing the spread of diseases and protect the most vulnerable groups, particularly children and the elderly,” said the BRCS yesterday.
Tens of thousands of Sudanese people have fallen victim to dengue fever and other diseases, Sudan’s health minister said, as seasonal rains further test infrastructure and hospitals devastated by conflict.
As millions of people displaced by fighting return to their homes in Sudan while others continue to flee, the unusually high spread of diseases like dengue fever, cholera and malaria this year highlights the hidden costs of almost 30 months of war.
