The Red Crescent Society in South Darfur has been actively engaging in various health initiatives in Nyala. These include operating internal medicine and dental clinics, as well as organizing workshops aimed at providing psychological support for families and raising awareness about the hazards of bacterial and viral foreign bodies.
Mohammed Al-Senussi, the head of the health department at the Red Crescent Society in South Darfur, highlighted their efforts in hosting a comprehensive family day. During this event, children are offered games and art activities designed to help them escape the harsh realities of war under the guidance of trained professionals.
Addressing water health in the region, Al-Senussi informed Radio Tamazuj that the Red Crescent Society has trained families in water chlorination techniques. Currently, these trained individuals are stationed at water sources along the Nyala Valley basin, actively adding chlorine to the water and monitoring chlorine levels to ensure water safety.
He called on all organizations operating in the state to provide assistance by supplying chlorine to ensure the uninterrupted provision of services. The water network in Nyala has been inactive since April and remains suspended.
In another development, the Red Crescent Society, in collaboration with the Expanded Immunization Department in the state, conducted an assessment of expired children’s vaccination serums.
This became necessary as the cooling devices of the Expanded Immunization Department had ceased functioning for several months due to the ongoing conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces since mid-April.
