📍Sudan | When Rowaida fled the armed conflict while pregnant, with her children and father, she had to leave loved ones behind.

Today, she lives in a camp for internally displaced people, working to provide for her children while living with the uncertainty of not knowing what happened to her relatives.

The number of missing persons cases recorded by ICRC teams in Sudan reached over 11,000, with an increase of more than 40% in the past year alone. Figures such as these illustrate the human cost of prolonged conflicts.
