As the conflict in Sudan reaches 300 days, millions of children face severe malnutrition, violence, and a lack of healthcare, prompting urgent calls for international aid.
- UNICEF reports four million children displaced in Sudan, facing hunger, violence, and abuse.
- Over 700,000 children at risk of severe acute malnutrition, with tens of thousands likely to die without increased aid.
- Healthcare system collapse and disease outbreaks exacerbate the crisis, with millions lacking access to basic services.
- U.N. appeals for $4.1 billion in aid for 14.7 million people in Sudan and 2.7 million refugees in neighboring countries.
- Calls for ceasefire and improved humanitarian access to prevent a 'massive loss of life' among children.
