With the local health system devastated by ongoing conflict, even the most basic healthcare services are largely unavailable in many of Abyei’s remote villages. This has left populations in these areas without essential medical care.
In April, individuals in Abyei awaited the removal of bandages following eye surgeries. This highlights the critical condition of medical care in the region. The lack of accessible healthcare is a consequence of prolonged conflict, which has dismantled infrastructure and resources.

The team had limited time to conduct their operations, underscoring the urgency and complexity of providing healthcare in conflict zones. Their efforts offer some relief in an area desperately in need of medical intervention.
