THOUSANDS of Sudanese children are facing death and are in need of immediate assistance following the ongoing conflict that erupted earlier this year.
Sudan’s ongoing conflict has led to over 1,200 child deaths in refugee camps due to measles and malnutrition, requiring immediate international assistance.
According to UNICEF Sudan is in the midst of a devastating conflict that has led to a humanitarian crisis, with thousands of children at risk of dying.
The UN reports that over 1,200 children in refugee camps have already died since May, partly due to a measles outbreak.
Thousands more are in danger due to malnutrition and a lack of access to healthcare.
The ongoing conflict, which began in April, has claimed at least 7,500 lives and caused severe damage to the nation’s infrastructure, resulting in the closure of 80% of hospitals.
Attacks on healthcare facilities and personnel have further exacerbated the situation.
UNICEF warns that without immediate intervention, many more children will lose their lives. Urgent funding is needed to provide aid and access to those in need.
International assistance is critical to preventing further loss of innocent lives, particularly among vulnerable children.
