A devastating report from @hrw today on horrifying sexual violence in #Sudan. The country needs more resources to support survivors of rape, these girls and women need medical and psychological care.
The situation is appalling. An important read.

I interviewed Sonia Khush, one of @save_children's most experienced humanitarians, for #WorldHumanitarianDay
She talked about Iraq, Ebola, cyclones, Ukraine, & supporting children and mothers in camps in #Syria. A hugely impressive woman, humanitarian, leader. Her story 👇
📍Iraq, 2003:
"People I had been working with died that day, all dedicated professionals with a purpose to support those affected by conflicts. It was a real wakeup call," - @soniakhush

After 100 days of war in #Sudan , credible reports implicate the RSF in genocidal violence. The group is assassinating the intelligentsia of the Masalit tribe, burning villages and destroying all vital facilities.

If such aggressions continue, our presence in the Turkish Hospital will soon no longer be tenable. Medical care is not a target.
