UNICEF and MSF report an alarming situation for children in Sudan’s civil war, with 16 million affected by violence, starvation, and diseases. The need for urgent aid and support is critical as the conflict continues to devastate communities, particularly impacting the youngest and most vulnerable populations.
UNICEF reports that 16 million children in Sudan are suffering due to ongoing civil war, facing violence, starvation, disease, and sexual assault. Executive Director Catherine Russell highlighted the severe impact of conflict on children, particularly those under five years old, with 1.3 million in famine zones and 3 million facing disease risks due to a failing health system. Additionally, about 16.5 million children are out of school as violence disrupts their education.
The civil conflict in Sudan has led to significant suffering among children, with millions at risk of violence, malnutrition, and diseases. The humanitarian crisis requires urgent attention and funding to support affected children’s needs in nutrition, health, and education. Both UNICEF and MSF emphasize the ongoing trauma faced by children and the need for continuous care and support.
