The brutal war in Sudan continues to affect children across the country, including in North Darfur where there has been a sharp escalation in fighting.
The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reports that at least 150 boys and girls have been killed in Darfur since April, and many more injured, in ferocious fighting between the Sudanese Army and rival paramilitary Rapid Security Forces (RSF) who have been locked in conflict for nearly 18 months.
The war has put Sudan’s children at risk of diseases such as cholera and malaria, as well as famine and malnutrition, while also preventing a staggering 80 per cent from attending school – possibly the world’s largest education emergency.
UN News’s Ezzat El-Ferri asked UNICEF Representative to Sudan Sheldon Yett about the agency’s efforts to combat these crises.
