“Many families are trapped in the crossfire, with little or no access to electricity, terrified about the fighting and the possibility of running out of food, water and medicine. Thousands of families have been forced from their homes in search of safety"

Catherine Russell,
UNICEF Executive Director

The situation in Sudan is dire, with heavy fighting in multiple states putting millions of children at risk. Over a week of intense hostilities have already taken a devastating toll on the country's children, with at least 55 children injured and 9 killed in the first week.

Many families are trapped in the crossfire, with little access to electricity, food, water, or medicine. In addition, critical infrastructure such as hospitals, health centres, and schools have been damaged or destroyed, disrupting life-saving care for thousands of children.

Thousands of civilians, including women and children are fleeing Khartoum and other cities, some in cars and others on foot, due to fears of the escalation of bombing and violence. These people have nowhere to go and are in urgent need of food, shelter, safe drinking water, and hygiene essentials.

We urgently need your support to respond to the needs of children affected by this crisis. Please make a donation now!
