Funding for Sudan health crisis only a third of what is needed this year
- Health funding for humanitarian response in Sudan, the world’s worst crisis, has received only a third of the tens of millions of pounds it needs for this year.
- The World Health Organisation (WHO) has also received less than 15 percent of the money it needs to carry out its operations, its representative in Sudan said in a media briefing on Wednesday.
- The humanitarian appeal’s health sector has only been 35 percent funded, Dr Shible Sahbani said, as the country contends with its third cholera outbreak in three years.
