Sudan war fuels child hunger crisis
""The reality for children in Sudan is growing darker hour by hour," said Eva Hinds, spokeswoman for UNICEF, highlighting the escalating crisis as the civil war continues."
""Going through three years of conflict has had a massive impact on these children and women. Children's daily lives are shaped by news of death and destruction," stated Ashan Abeywardena from War Child."
""Drones are killing and wounding girls and boys in their homes, in markets, on the roads, near schools and health facilities - all places that should never be targets," emphasized UNICEF's Hinds."
""In the first three months of this year, nearly 700 civilians were reportedly killed in drone strikes," reported UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher, underscoring the severity of the attacks."
The civil war in Sudan, now in its fourth year, has led to a humanitarian crisis with over 13 million displaced. More than 4,300 children have been killed or injured, particularly in Darfur and Kordofan. Indiscriminate drone attacks have targeted civilians, including children, in homes, markets, and schools. The conflict has destroyed essential infrastructure, worsening the situation for the civilian population. The ongoing violence has a profound impact on the daily lives of children and women, who are disproportionately affected by the conflict.
