11. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mariam Mohamed Ahmed, mother:
“We had to flee because of the fighting and came up here in Tawila. We have nothing to eat — it’s so hard on us. We need many things — shelter from the rain, protection from mosquitoes. We need food and water. My child here is suffering from malnutrition. I brought him to this center for help when he was just one and a half months old. His condition was very bad at first, but after receiving treatment at the health center, he’s getting better. Everyone helped us. They gave us energy biscuits — two every morning and one in the afternoon. Now, he’s much better.”

As the conflict in Sudan enters its third year, the number of children in need of humanitarian assistance has doubled, from 7.8 million at the start of 2023 to more than 15 million today.
Without urgent action, Sudan’s dire humanitarian crisis could tip into greater catastrophe. Violence by parties against children, hunger and disease are surging. Displacement continues to disrupt lives, access by humanitarian actors to families and funding are shrinking, and the May-October rainy season – which often results in disruptive flooding and a surge in malnutrition and disease - looms.
“Two years of violence and displacement have shattered the lives of millions of children across Sudan. Needs continue to outpace humanitarian funding,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. “With the rainy season around the corner, children who are already reeling from malnutrition and disease will be harder to reach. I urge the international community to seize this pivotal window for action and step up for Sudan’s children.”
Sudan is enduring the world’s largest humanitarian and child displacement crises. Half of the more than 30 million people in need of humanitarian assistance this year are children. The conflict has displaced nearly 15 million people within Sudan and across borders. More than half of those displaced are children. Almost one in three are under the age of five. In areas where opportunities to return arise, unexploded ordnance and limited access to essential services put children’s lives at heightened risk. Famine is spreading, vaccination rates are dropping, and about 90 per cent of children are out of school.
