More than 7.4 million people have been forced to leave their homes in search of safety within and outside Sudan.
So-called emergency response rooms (ERRs) - essentialky teams of volunteer medical staff, engineers and other emergency experts across the country - are addressing civilian needs amid the current bout of violence and insecurity stemming from clashes with rival military forces in April 2023.
The goal is simple: reach those facing the risk of death, famine, disease and difficulty obtaining drinking water, electricity and communication services.
"We are united by humanitarian work and the sense of responding to the repercussions of war and helping people,” says Hanin Ahmed, a young Sudanese activist with a master’s degree in gender and specializing in peace and conflict, who founded an emergency room with one of her colleagues.
