Survival is a daily struggle for women and girls fleeing the El Fasher massacre in Sudan

Nearly 89,000 people fled the massacre in El Fasher, Sudan, in just over a week.

They reached Tawila, where 17,000 pregnant women are now in urgent need of care.

There is not enough food, water or shelter. Survival is a daily struggle, especially for women and girls.

Donate to support UNFPA's essential services and care for survivors.
