Zeinab is just one of roughly 3 million children under five in #Sudan who suffer from #malnutrition .

1 year into the current #conflict , this number is only growing—the fighting & soaring transportation costs have made it difficult for people to access medical care.

'Sudan is no stranger to crisis. It is in fact a crisis within a crisis... This is above all a war on women and girls.'
Sofia Sprechmann Sineiro , CARE International's Secretary General, speaks during IAWG Secretariat's media brief on Sudan's humanitarian crisis ahead of the 1-year mark.

'...[Sudan] has received much less attention...despite the fact that the UN is reporting that...6.4 million people are in need of GBV services. That was 3 million prior to the conflict...' Sofia Sprechmann Sineiro responding to BBC News (World)'s Ian Wafula during IAWG Secretariat media briefing.

Nowhere and no one in #Gaza is safe.

Today, 6 months since the escalation of the #Gaza Conflict, #mothers & children continue to be hit the hardest.

CARE spoke to displaced mothers about their current living situation, their fears & their wishes for the future.

Investing in #WomensHealth is critical to creating healthy, thriving communities.

CARE works with partners to:
🧡 ensure that #WomenAndGirls get the care they need closer to home
🧡 help strengthen local health systems
🧡 make sure women's rights are protected

#WorldHealthDay

Tomorrow, April 7, marks 6 months since the escalation of the conflict in #Gaza & also #WorldHealthDay . A stark example of what is & what we aspire to achieve.

We welcome the announcement by the Israeli Government that they will allow the temporary delivery of #HumanitarianAid .

This is a positive step forward after yet another tragic week in #Gaza , but given the scale of #humanitarian needs, we need sustained, not temporary, access.

Almost the entire population of #Gaza is dependent on #aid for survival, but delivering that aid is enormously difficult and complex.

Find out how CARE's aid trucks are crossing from #Egypt into #Gaza and what the main challenges are ⬇️

Women & girls are disproportionately affected by crisis. They're also key to finding solutions & building a more just world. Their voices must be heard & they must be part of decision-making.

Thank you Foreign Policy CAN for your commitment to #GenderEquality in peacebuilding & security.
