In Kadugli and surrounding communities, women are going hungry for days. Not by choice. Because there is nothing left. Health workers are now seeing infants with severe acute malnutrition, their mothers too weak and undernourished to breastfeed. Hunger does not stop with one person. It ripples outward. Into the body of a child. Into a family. Into a whole community.
At the same time, violence continues. Drone strikes. Looting. Gender based violence. Schools destroyed. Families forced to flee with nothing, again. Many women are giving birth under fire. Others are burying children lost to hunger and preventable illness. Some disappear entirely, without justice, without answers.
This is the daily trauma women and children in South Kordofan are carrying. Physical. Psychological. And deeply human.
We see what this does to the mind as much as the body. The fear that never settles. The grief that has no space to breathe. Children who stop speaking. Mothers who blame themselves for a crisis they did not create.
We stand with women led soup kitchens, community volunteers, and frontline responders who are doing everything they can with almost nothing. But courage alone is not enough.
Sudan needs access. It needs protection for civilians. And it needs the world to stop looking away.
Women and children in South Kordofan are not statistics.
They are the measure of our shared humanity.
