At camp in Al Daba, Northern Sudan, where families who escaped the deadly violence in Al Fashr have come in search of safety. So many of them are women and children. Some have lost loved ones along the way. Others have walked for days in search of safety. Their strength, despite all of the pain and loss, is deeply moving.The people I've met today have told me about their fear, their exhaustion and the uncertainty that still surrounds them. But they also spoke about their future, about hope, about hope for peace and stability and a chance to rebuild their lives. IOM here, together with our partners, we're providing families with shelter, materials, food and hygiene kits and mobile health services. Through our teams on the ground, in our common pipeline, we're helping to meet some of the urgent needs and restore at least a sense of dignity. IOM will continue to stand with the people of Sudan, helping them to find safety today and hope for tomorrow.But the people of Sudan, the people here at this camp, they urgently need your support. Already this is the world's largest displacement crisis. Over 10 million people have fled their home, some more than once. And the resources to meet their needs are simply not enough. The world must act for peace.And in the meantime, to support the men, the women, the children of Sudan.
