West Darfur, Abata 60km from Zalingei. Vaccination programme, ante-natal care and malaria prevention.
Every 30 seconds a child dies from malaria, the world’s leading cause of mortality for children under the age of five. More than one million people die from the disease every year, over 75 per cent of them African children under five year of age. Other groups particularly vulnerable to the disease include pregnant women, refugees and other displaced people and those living in poverty.
The ICRC supports health programmes throughout Darfur to all communities. The ICRC aims to prevent disease outbreaks through its extensive vaccination programme and the distribution of mosquito nets to prevent malaria.
Pictured here is a young woman, with her child, after getting trained on how to use her mosquito net. . She is one of 500 people who were given mosquito nets in one distribution alone.
