Insecurity Insight monitors attacks on health care in Sudan. Our latest data is available for download here.
Since the severe escalation of violence in the country in mid-April 2023, health facilities have been damaged in shelling and arson attacks, vital medical supplies have been looted, health workers killed, injured and arrested, and patients deliberately obstructed from accessing health care. This is not the first time that health care in Sudan has been attacked. Insecurity Insight data revealed in the Sudan country chapter of the 2022 annual Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition report that there were at least 53 incidents of violence or obstruction of health care in the country that year.
