[Correspondence] Addressing the consequences of conflict in Sudan

The Lancet's Editorial and related commentary about Sudan's health catastrophe raises immediate concern regarding public health, increasingly aggressive gender-based violence, and the diminished global response.1,2 We agree that the crisis cannot be overlooked, and that Sudanese lives are not expendable. With famine afflicting 24·6 million people and 80% of hospitals in conflict areas dysfunctional, it is imperative to highlight the essential and challenging work undertaken by humanitarian organisations in direct response to this crisis.
