“It is getting through but not enough and the needs remain massive. And I think that, that’s the key here. As more and more neighborhoods open up, as Khartoum opens up, I shudder about, to think about what we’re going to see and how great the needs are. This was the epicenter of, one of the epicenters of conflict, and we know that conflict leaves tremendous needs in its wake.”

“People don’t know what’s going to happen next, they’re hearing that things are going back to normal but they’re scared. They know about the destruction, they know about the, some of them know, or have heard about the bombs that haven’t exploded and things that puts them at risk. They’re worried about services for their children, they’re worried about livelihood. I think these are some of the things that are preventing people from going home. Services are getting up to speed but it’s from a very low base, as you know, the entire city was devastated."

“Unless screening is happening, unless children are able to access public health institutions, medical institutions, I’m afraid it’s only going to get worse. That’s why it’s so critical that we ramp up public health services now. Not just security services, but public health services, that we get the messages out, what’s necessary to keep children safe, that it’s necessary to get vaccinated, that it’s necessary to drink clean water, that it’s necessary to ensure you don’t touch unexploded ordinance, that you make sure your house is safe before you go back home.“

STORYLINE:
As Sudan marked two years of civil war on Tuesday, aid agencies fear of the “massive" needs that the destruction of the country’s capital has left in its wake.
“As Khartoum opens up, I shudder to think about what are going to see and how great the needs are,” UNICEF representative to Sudan Sheldon Yett told The Associated Press in a video call.
The capital city of Khartoum is “trying to pick up the pieces," said Yett, but things like unexploded ordinance and devastated public services are still preventing people from going home.
“That’s why it’s so critical that we ramp up public health services now,” added Yett, “unless children are able to access public health institutions, medical institutions, I’m afraid it’s only going to get worse.”
