14 MILLION children in Sudan urgently need humanitarian support following the breakout of armed conflict...
UN officials warn of looming humanitarian crisis as the civil war in the north-east African country continues
Fighting between the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces , which began in April this year, recently passed the 100-day mark. Chaiban highlighted the fact that children are being killed, injured, abducted, and even recruited into armed groups. They have fallen victim to ethnic- and gender-based violence, while the schools and hospitals they depend on are being damaged, destroyed and looted.
Of the three million children in Sudan who are under the age of five, 700,000 are at risk of developing severe acute malnutrition and dying as a result. There is also a risk of disease epidemics if around 1.7 million children do not receive necessary vaccines. Nearly four million people alone have fled their homes to seek safety, including across the border into Chad, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, Ethiopia and Egypt.
