15 million children require humanitarian support...

....in Sudan. This conflict doesn't get half as much attention in MN as the Gaza conflict. I wonder why this is?
Famine in 10 locations in Sudan, 12.4 million people have had to flee their homes, 150 000 people have died.

I’m finding it bizarre that there is so much outrage about Gaza & other disasters don’t get a mention. There are currently wars & violence all over the world.

There are no marches for example for women in Afghanistan, Iran, Haiti, Sudan. I read something awful about Ethiopian women having objects inserted into their uterus to make them infertile. It’s horrific. I’m sure there are plenty more I haven’t mentioned.

It’s all really distressing.

The epicentre of Sudan’s violence is in the central area of one of the largest countries in Africa, (5000 times bigger than Gaza). The unreliable power, internet and transport infrastructure are barriers to reporting, as well as the obvious risk to life.

Some of the reports about Gaza are made from Egypt or Israel, looking in. It is surprising when you visit the region how close together the borders are.

I’m humbled by the bravery of reporters who risk their lives to present the unvarnished truth to the world.
