Many young children have lived their whole lives in Darfur's refugee camps. An AmeriCares emergency airlift carrying more than 9 tons of medicines and medical supplies, valued at more than $1.2 million, arrived in Sudan on Thanksgiving Day. The critical airlift includes:
- Medical testing equipment such as microscopes and laboratory items;
- Medicines and supplies to treat diseases and infections;
- Bandages, slings, and other items to treat injuries;
- Instruments and supplies needed to perform surgeries; and
- Vitamins and nutritional support to combat malnutrition.
| Violence has waged for over 5 years turning 2.5 million people into war refugees. Their only access to health care is through humanitarian aid. That’s why AmeriCares must be a lifeline for the people of Darfur.
