The healthcare infrastructure is severely compromised, and the need for medical aid is dire. In this challenging environment, every act of kindness and bravery shines brightly.

The people of Sudan urgently need help. The healthcare system is overwhelmed, and resources are scarce. Children like Amona are particularly vulnerable, often left without families or support. The situation calls for immediate action and sustained efforts to provide medical care, food, shelter, and emotional support to those affected by the conflict. International aid organizations and local initiatives, like SAPA, play a crucial role in alleviating the suffering, but the scale of the crisis demands more attention and resources.

SAPA’s Rescue of Amona

In October 2023, at Al-Naw Hospital, Amona’s life hung by a thread. A shell had fallen in the hospital courtyard, leaving the 20-day-old orphaned girl alone and helpless. Dr. Al-Ghali, a member of SAPA, risked his life to save her. Amidst the chaos and danger, he managed to transfer Amona to Al-Bolouk Hospital, ensuring she received the care she desperately needed.

Amona’s journey from that fateful day is nothing short of miraculous. Under SAPA’s care, she has not only recovered but thrived. Today, at seven months old, Amona has found a new family. One of the hospital workers adopted her, providing the love and stability she needed to heal and grow. This act of kindness reflects SAPA’s work’s profound impact and compassion’s power in transforming lives.
