Humanitarian Crisis

More than 15,000 families have arrived in El-Obeid since mid-July. Over 200,000 people arrived in the city in the first half of the year, with the majority being women and children.

Streets, houses, cars, and boats in Yemen are currently decorated in green in honor of the Prophet Muhammad's birthday. However, the situation in the country is far from festive: the war with Saudi Arabia is ongoing, many areas suffer from severe electricity shortages, and hospitals are collapsing. 'The atmosphere is pleasant with the green color, but my pockets are empty,' locals say.

The UN warns of a humanitarian catastrophe in El-Obeid, Sudan. Drone attacks during the day have forced residents to collect water at night, making them targets for sexual violence. UN Women reports that aid budget cuts have left survivors with little to no access to essential services.
