Children face crisis in Sudan
Urgent life-saving aid is needed now

Fifteen months of conflict in Sudan have put millions of children and their families at risk. Sudan now has the biggest child displacement crisis in the world.

Displacement, disease outbreaks and hunger have created the perfect storm for conflict-induced famine with the famine threshold already passed in Zamzam camp in the North Darfur region. 

An estimated 13 million children are now grappling with acute food insecurity, with 3.7 million under the age of 5 projected to suffer from acute malnutrition. 

The conflict has also led to civilian infrastructure being decimated, leaving children and communities without essential services like clean water and basic health care. 

With millions of people being displaced, households and families struggle with a severely limited ability to provide appropriate feeding and care for their young children.

UNICEF is advocating for a ceasefire to ensure that humanitarian workers can safely reach children and families with urgent health, nutrition, protection and education services.
