The IFRC is deeply saddened to announce the tragic loss of Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS) volunteer, Mr Sabeil Ibrahim Adam on 26 August 2024.  
 
Sabeil lost his life while providing first aid services in Eldein town, East Darfur State. He was among the dedicated volunteers supporting El-Daein teaching hospital. Since the conflict in Sudan began in mid-April last year, eight volunteers from the Sudanese Red Crescent have tragically lost their lives.  
 
The IFRC extends its heartfelt condolences to the family, Sudanese Red Crescent Society, friends, and colleagues of Sabeil Ibrahim Adam. The protection of humanitarian workers is a fundamental obligation.  
 
We reiterate our call for the protection of humanitarian workers and implore all parties to respect international humanitarian law. The loss of our staff and volunteers underscores the risks faced by those delivering vital humanitarian assistance in conflict zones.
