South Sudan: Conflict-related casualties reach highest level in eight years at ICRC-supported hospitals
Nearly 1,000 weapon-wounded patients have been treated this year in hospitals supported by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), marking the highest number recorded since 2018.
This rise in casualties reflects the ongoing violence in South Sudan, where conflict continues to severely impact civilians. The increase in wounded patients underscores the urgent need for medical assistance and protection in the region.
"The high number of weapon-wounded individuals highlights the devastating effects of the conflict on communities," said an ICRC spokesperson.
The ICRC continues to support medical facilities to provide critical emergency care and surgical services to those affected by the fighting. Their efforts are vital to address the rising demand caused by recent escalations in violence.
The significant surge in conflict injuries at ICRC-supported hospitals reveals the severe humanitarian consequences of South Sudan’s ongoing war, emphasizing the critical role of international medical support.
