Public Health Response to Floods in 8 Worst-Affected States of Sudan Sudan is experiencing the worst flooding in recent memories compounded with the already grim humanitarian conditions in the country. On 05 Sept 2020, the country announced national state of emergency for 3 months following the flooding crisis. As per Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC), as of 08 Sept 2020, a total of 557,000 people have been affected in 17 out of 18 States of Sudan. More than 11,000 latrines and around 30 health structures have reportedly be damaged but no major interruption of services is reported. The flooding displaced affected population and destroyed latrines leading to lack of access to health services and  contaminated water supplies respectively. The stagnated waters serve as breeding sites for disease transmitting vectors. The most affected states are Khartoum, North Darfur and Sennar, which account for 43 per cent of all people affected. Regular water quality monitoring reports attested 54% of drinking water samples failed to meet the minimum Free Residual Chlorine (FRC) target while 51% of samples analyzed for bacteriological presence found contaminated. More than 25 assessments (interagency or joint with SMoH) conducted by WHO team since the beginning of the rainy season. Around 128 alert investigations on diseases (diarrhea, measles, COVID-19, etc)events) have been conducted and immediate control measures were put in place by WHO to date. In response, so far,10 mobile clinics are currently supported in Blue Nile, North Darfur, Red Sea, Kassala and Central Darfur. Therefore, in order to address the major gaps, this project prioritized supporting provision of mobile clinics for isolated communities to increase access to health services and support epidemic alert investigations and response missions of the Rapid Response Team (RRTs). Besides, in order to prevent water borne and vector borne diseases expected to flourish after 6-8 weeks of the flooding, the project supports water quality monitoring and  integrated vector control interventions in 8 worst-affected States in the coming 4 months. The affected States in their order of priorities for the response are: Khartoum (with102,575 affected individuals), Sinnar (42,325 affected individuals), West Kordofan (35,780 individuals), Kassala (35,385), Gadaref (32,290), Gezira (29,325), Red Sea (18,805), and White Nile (10,202). The proposed response is consistent with the national multi-hazard preparedness and response plans, health and WASH cluster and HRP objectives. The project will complement with ongoing SHF core pipeline  for medicines and medical supplies to ensure lack of medicines and medical supplies in the mobile clinics.
COVID-19 Response - Integrated Health and WASH support for Khartoum Teaching Hospital As of 2 May 2020, there were 592 confirmed, 41 deaths, and 52 recovered COVID-19 cases in Sudan. COVID-19 has spread to 14 of Sudan's 18 states. Over 90% of all confirmed cases are in Khartoum (521), with the rest as following: Gazira (24), Sinnar (10), Gedaref (6), River Nile (5), North Kordofan (8), South Darfur (5), West Kordofan (4), North Darfur (3), East Darfur (2), White Nile, Red Sea, Central Darfur, and Northern state (1 each).
The project is planned and designed according to the Sudan Humanitarian fund (SHF) reserve for emergency fund allocation guide and in line with Country Preparedness and Response Plan (CPRP) which outlined three prioritized pillars risk communication and community engagement, infection prevention, and control, and case management in Khartoum teaching hospital. 
The provision of safe WASH conditions plays an essential role in protecting human health during the COVID-19 outbreak. In Sudan as per HNO 2020, an estimated 7.6 (1.87 IDPs, 324,328 returnees, amp 5.5 million in non-displaced conflict-affected communities) million people are in need of WASH services, with populations across different areas experiencing critical and protracted WASH needs. Laboratory studies indicate that COVID-19 can remain infectious in fecally contaminated water for days to weeks. It is likely to be more sensitive to chlorine other oxidant disinfection processes than many other viruses.
COVID-19 is a significant threat to the well-being and safety of children across the world it exposes them to health risks, disrupts their healthcare, education, as well as access to basic needs like food, protection, and social interaction with the family. There is a need for a swift and comprehensive response in Sudan to help mitigate its impact and preserve children’s rights to Survive, Learn, and Be Protected. SC will leverage its existing presence in the country and health expertise to support the most marginalized children and their caregivers.
Under this project, SC will support the MOH to prepare and respond for COVID-19 pandemic with a focus on isolation centers, Infection Prevention amp Control (IPC) and Risk Communication amp Community Engagement (RCCE). The project will address the critical needs of Khartoum teaching hospital isolation center by 
 Provide medical equipment, furniture, essential medicines, IPC supplies, and consumables.
 Incentivize and provide PPE to medical staff.
 train staff on technical expertise to implement IPC activities.
 Support rehabilitation of the center’s toilets, sewage, water, and ventilation systems.
 Provide cleaning tools and garbage containers and installing a water tank.
 Conduct assessment and collect information to understand how to target communities are responding to COVID-19 outbreak, and conduct awareness targeting mobile and marginalized populations.

Kuwaiti Patients Helping Fund (KPHF) proposes to implement life-saving, integrated nutrition project to assist vulnerable population affected by malnutrition, displacement, conflict and natural emergencies by supporting 4 OTPs / 4 TSFPS integrated which include 3 in Ed El Furesan locality (1 in Om Ganah ,1 in Dere and 1 in Norely) and 1 in Nyala North locality (in Altadamoun) in South Darfur State. The proposed programming will support 13,700  direct beneficiaries including (6000) women (3,850), boys and  (3,850) girls comprising of  IDPs , returnees and host communities as well as 9,500 indirect beneficiaries. The project aims are to Provide affected people with the highest levels of undernutrition with curative nutrition services as well as Strengthen and provide preventative nutrition services to the most vulnerable groups these will be achived through Improve access to quality , integrated and sustainable CMAM and IYCF services for children U5 and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) according to sphere standard in Nyala North Ed El Fersan localities. This project will be implemented for a period of one year. According to Simple Spatial Survey Method (S3M II -2018) that the prevalence of GAM (HAZ 23.85% amp WHZ 16.43%) in South Darfur is classified as critical, which is above 15% as per the WHO threshold for assessing severity of malnutrition. In addition to, the GAM rate in Ed El Furesan and Nyala North is above 15% threshold. Also low coverage and access to nutrition services, food shortage, and lack of clean water, poor hygiene amp sanitation, epidemic disease as well as covid-19 pandemic was confirmed. This nutritional situation is very critical and require urgent intervention to fill the gap to address malnutrition. KPHF will intervention through provision of community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) program. The main activities include treatment for children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) under-5, including referral to inpatient management for SAM with medical complications. Additionally, activities will include the management of cases of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) for children 6-59 months and PLW, in addition to vitamin A supplementation for children under-5 on admission to the OTP centers. Nutrition education and counseling will be provided for caretakers of children under-5 as a component of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. Selected trainings will be provided for staff on CMAM with IYCF, NiE and SBCC, identification of medical complications at outpatient therapeutic program (OTP) level, IYCF, monitoring and reporting. Also community awareness sessions on CMAM, IYCF, food diversity and breastfeeding will be conducted.  These activities will be implemented with high protective measures against covid-19 through applying both CMAM and IYCF-E guidelines during covid-19 which considering social distancing , warring PPEs and other guidelines.
