Sudan (MNN) — Civilians continue to bear the brunt of Sudan’s brutal war. A recent attack on a hospital claimed over 40 lives, including health workers and children.
Vulnerable groups are coming under fire. “It’s soft targets; these are not military bases,” Darrell Templeton with MegaVoice says.
“Less than 10 percent of the hospitals and clinics in the country are even operational, and so the humanitarian crisis just continues to rise.”
Despite the scale of the crisis, few outside Sudan are aware. “The situation has gone from bad to worse,” Templeton says.
“It’s the largest displacement of people anywhere in the world, and, unfortunately, because Israel and Iran are getting all the headline news, this has dropped off the radar of most people.”
Yet the Lord hears their cries. In the midst of chaos, believers are holding fast.
“If I could get out of there, I would. And yet, we hear stories of pastors and lay leaders that choose to stay and shepherd the few believers they have and be that beacon of hope in their communities,” Templeton says.
Through partners like Samaritan’s Purse, MegaVoice audio Bibles bring both hope and help.
“They not only carry the Bible and Scripture, but they also carry different content that some of our partners will put on it,” Templeton says.
“They can add local content, be it medical information for the family on how to do wound care, or even Bible stories in the local language.”
Pray for strength and resources for medical workers, and ask God to meet urgent needs.
“The whole cholera situation is a growing epidemic this year,” Templeton says. “They think it’s going to be worse than what it was in 2023.”
