White Nile State

White Nile State, located in the south of Sudan, is significantly impacted by the ongoing conflict in the country. Recent news highlights the dire humanitarian situation and violence affecting the region. A drone attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on a secondary school and health center resulted in the deaths of at least 17 people, including students and teachers. The state is also grappling with a severe health crisis, as displacement camps lack access to clean water, leading to outbreaks of water-borne diseases like bilharzia, particularly affecting children and the elderly. Furthermore, the conflict has damaged critical infrastructure, including Al-Tijani Hospital, Sudan's oldest psychiatric hospital, which volunteers are now working to rebuild. These events underscore the vulnerability of civilians and the urgent need for humanitarian aid and a resolution to the conflict in White Nile State.
