SADLY, this post at X by Munchkin Jan 8 says "after over week-long struggle to evacuate remaining orphaned children & caretakers from RSF-besieged Jezira, reports that group was denied entrance to Kassala where they have sought refuge. Refusal reportedly came from the Governor, citing “security risk" #KeepEyesOnSudan". Is it true? Read reports below as a backgrounder.

#NoToWar - Heroes aid Khartoum "You are welcome" - Hadhreen "We are present and ready to help"

At least 498 children in Sudan, and likely hundreds more, have died from hunger, including two dozen babies in a state orphanage, as critical services run out of food or close, according to a recent statement by the international NGO Save the Children (SC).  ... When Nazim Sirag, who heads Hadhreen, heard about more than 300 terrified children at an orphanage in Khartoum in need of food, water and medicine. He tweeted: "We can't provide milk for new-born babies, everyone is afraid." In response to our query via WhatsApp if any help had been found through his network, he says: "We are trying to reach them. Till now we failed. Everyone in Sudan is scared to go out," adding that the orphanage was in one of the "hot areas". "Tomorrow we have [to] try early in the morning. Wish us luck."

Microblogging platform X is awash with propaganda and disgusting X-rated adverts allowed by Elon Musk

THANKS to Munchkin @BSonblast for all the updates. I can empathise with the way she is feeling in these two posts. I see much Sudan news and sometimes feel overwhelmed by the suffering and despair of millions of people across the world without food, water and hope. The horrific atrocities carried out by evil men who aren't being stopped by billions of cowardly men is sickening to say the least. Take good care Munchkin. Sorry I haven't published your updates. The microblogging platform X is awash with slick propaganda and disgusting X-rated adverts allowed by Elon Musk and I cannot bring myself to amplify news published without verifiable sources.

والله الواحد بقى لا بعرف يتكلم لا بعرف يكتب… I can’t string a coherent sentence together to save my life

— Munchkin (@BSonblast) December 30, 2023

Drowning in the sadness today. Couldn’t shake it off at all, couldn’t repress it, couldn’t just live with it.

It swallowed me whole.

A description of the video at YouTube says, in Arabic and English:

"Kassala Youth Emergency Room 

At a distance of 625 km from the war-torn Khartoum due to the conflict between the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces, the film “Kassala Youth Emergency Room”, documents an initiative by people working in Kassala.

It shows a team of volunteers working for over 102,777 displaced people in Kassala State, noting that this number doubled after the outbreak of war in Wad Madani city on the eighteenth of December. Kassala state and locality are some of the most important destinations in eastern Sudan for survivors of the war in Khartoum, Darfur, and the Gezira.

The film follows the Emergency Room’s volunteers, showcasing their support for those affected by the April 15 war, from evacuation, welcoming and housing in shelters to providing material and psychological support to children throughout the past eight months.

“War is psychological destruction! For us, this is the priority to evacuate people!”

Waad Mahjoub Altahir, Member of the Communications and Public Relations Office Kassala youth emergency room."
