We operate one of our largest assistance programmes worldwide in South Sudan, responding to the many health needs resulting from ongoing conflict, displacement, recurrent floods, and disease outbreaks.
All these issues are compounded by a marked decrease in international funding for humanitarian and development programmes, and the precarious state of the national healthcare system.
In 2024, it remained highly dangerous for humanitarian organisations working in South Sudan. During the year, MSF staff were killed inside their communities during intercommunal conflicts, and we had to suspend activities in some locations following attacks.
