Civilians continue to bear the brunt of the conflict in Sudan.

Indiscriminate attacks, sexual violence, starvation tactics and the destruction of essential infrastructure are widespread.

More than 70% of health facilities have been damaged or destroyed, leaving millions without access to care.

The war in Sudan is not a crisis caused by natural disaster. It is a man-made catastrophe driven by interests of power over natural resources & politics, violations of international law, & a failure to act on behalf of humanity.

After 3 years of war, 33 million people now need humanitarian support.

In Sierra Leone, the Lite Salone project (funded by Irish Aid & the Icelandic Embassy) has been life changing. Instead of costly torches, Mohamed now pays a monthly fee for solar energy, making their home safer & allowing him to charge his phone.

The situation in Lebanon is deteriorating rapidly. Trócaire's Lebanon team & our partners are doing all they can to support civilians but we urgently call for an end to Israeli attacks in Lebanon.

The international community must do everything possible to ensure peace & the protection of civilians.

On the 1 year anniversary of the passing of our dear friend & colleague Noreen Gumbo, we remember her compassion, leadership and invaluable wisdom. Noreen epitomised the values of Trócaire & humanitarian work. In particular today, we send our thoughts & prayers to Noreen's family & friends.
