For more than 5500 people with kidney failure in Sudan, access to dialysis is the difference between life and death.

I am deeply grateful to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through @KSRelief_EN, for its generous US$5 million contribution, enabling @WHO to sustain lifesaving dialysis services across Sudan.

This is the power of partnership in action. Together, we are protecting essential health services for those who need them most, even in the most challenging circumstances, and reaffirming our shared commitment to health, hope and dignity for all.

While in White Nile State, @RaoufMazou & @DrShible met with State administrative & health officials; discussed the health & basic services needs of refugees, displaced persons, host communities & non-hosting residents of the state & called for an all-encompassing health response.

[WHO Sudan @whosudan]

In Kosti & Rabak, White Nile, @Refugees' @RaoufMazou & @WHO's @DrShible visited refugee & IDP camps where they observed massive health needs among the displaced & host communities, which is stretching the health system.
This calls for an all-inclusive integrated health response.

Cutting down on sugar is good for your health and can help you manage your weight. But it’s best to do this without replacing sugar with non-sugar sweeteners like stevia, aspartame and saccharin.

Non-sugar sweeteners do not help with weight control in the long term. they might cause other health problems later. In fact, on the long term, these products may have potentially undesirable effects, such as an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases or mortality in adults.

[WHO Sudan @whosudan]

Millions of people across #Sudan🇸🇩 continue to need humanitarian assistance.
A joint UNHCR-@WHO mission led by @RaoufMazou & @DrShible is touring 🇸🇩, meeting with government, partners & communities to highlight the escalating health needs & optimize an integrated health response.

Heat can make people seriously ill. Knowing the signs saves lives.

⚠️Here’s what to watch out for:
Headache, dizziness, nausea, cramps, palpitations, excessive sweating or unusual tiredness.

Heat and air pollution together hit harder and for people with cardiovascular or respiratory conditions, the effects can be faster and more severe.

If you or someone you know starts to experience signs of heat stress:

❎ Slow down or stop activity, move to a cooling area, drink water. Seek help if your symptoms don’t improve.

🚨 Look for danger signs: severe headache, confusion, agitation, collapse, seizures, or not responding normally. This counts as a health emergency.

👀 If someone near you looks unwell, don’t leave them alone.
Move them to a cooling area immediately, and call for first aid or alert event staff.

🌡️ Check weather forecast and air quality levels.

يستأثر إقليم شرق المتوسط بأقل من 10% من سكان العالم، ومع ذلك، فإنه يتحمل ما يقرب من نصف العبء الإنساني في العالم.

ويعني ذلك أن هذا الإقليم فيه شخصٌ واحدٌ من كل شخصين تضررا بالأزمات الإنسانية.

ومن 1.12 مليار دولار أمريكي تحتاج إليه منظمة الصحة العالمية لتمويل عمليات الطوارئ عالميًّا في عام 2026، يتركز أكثر من نصف تلك الاحتياجات في إقليم شرق المتوسط. ومع ذلك، لا يزال 40% من هذا التمويل غير متوفر.

وبالنسبة للملايين من الناس، هذه ليست فجوة في الميزانية، بل مسألة حياة أو موت.

لقد تأخرنا بالفعل كثيرًا في تقديم المساعدة الضرورية إلى أعداد كبيرة من الناس.
