Sudan Launches Solar-Powered Water Wells Across Khartoum

Sudan's White Nile and Gedaref states are undertaking significant humanitarian and health initiatives amidst ongoing challenges. In Khartoum, authorities have begun supplying drinking water from high-yield solar-powered wells in the Hamadab area, part of a broader effort to restore services disrupted by war and infrastructure destruction, with additional wells set to be activated soon thanks to both official and community support. Meanwhile, Gedaref state's health ministry has launched a large-scale campaign to distribute 1.4 million insecticide-treated bed nets across 11 localities, aiming to curb mosquito-borne diseases like malaria and strengthen community awareness, especially given the region’s high infection rates and low net usage. The campaign also includes extensive educational efforts to boost proper net use and disease prevention. These initiatives reflect a combination of government, military, and community efforts to address both immediate needs and longer-term health challenges in the face of ongoing conflict.
