1. I've decided to start a thread on the percentages of women and children among the fatalities in as many wars for which I can find decent data. I'll try to add a new war each day if I can.

Sudan war deaths are likely much higher than recorded, researchers say reut.rs/48RG76n

"The scale of death in Sudan is likely far worse than imagined & the complete disregard for humanitarian law by SAF & RSF is outrageous," said Chair @SenatorCardin. "The @UN Security Council must act decisively to protect civilians, deliver aid & hold war criminals accountable."

#Sudan war deaths are likely much higher than recorded @Reuters covers new LSHTM study estimating over 61,000 deaths in Khartoum State alone during first 14 months of war & death rate up 50%. These deaths have "largely gone undetected". 👇 reuters.com/world/africa/s…

📢'Invisible & severe' death toll of #Sudan conflict revealed Study estimates more violent deaths in Khartoum State alone than current number recorded for entire country. Evidence death toll in other regions also higher. 👉lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/new…

The findings of the @LSHTM report on the Sudan conflict are shocking. Mortality rates in Khartoum are up 50% since the conflict began. The warring parties must end the needless suffering now. lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/new…

Pneumococcal conjugate #vaccines given to children via existing mass vaccination campaigns in crisis settings can protect against deadly infections and save lives. 💉🚑 📽️Watch this video now & learn more 👇 bit.ly/3UHZVDs #WorldPneumoniaDay2024 #WorldPneumoniaDay

‍Internally displaced people (IDP) camps like those in Somaliland, face high risks of acute respiratory infection transmission due to crowded living conditions and close physical contact among residents. These conditions potentially present a perfect storm of risk factors for infection🦠! 📘➡️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #pneumonia #humanitarian settings.#WorldPneumoniaDay2024

Pneumococcus mainly affects the young & elderly but factors like over overcrowding & malnutrition in displaced populations can make things worse. @KevinvZandvoort thinks we can reimagine Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines to be more effective than before. 📰lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/exp… #PneumoniaAwareness #vaccineswork #WorldPneumoniaDay
