New Delhi: The Executive Director of UNICEF, Catherine Russell visited Sudan and expressed her deep concern about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the country. The UNICEF Executive Director has emphasized the need for an immediate ceasefire and peace in order to deliver humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable children in the country.
The UNICEF report states that more than half of the country’s 24 million children are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. The report further indicates that almost all of the children are not in school and are suffering from acute food insecurity and a lack of access to safe drinking water. The report warns that the ongoing conflict and the absence of access to resources are creating a lethal combination of displacement, disease, and hunger, which is having a devastating impact on the children.
The report also highlights the importance of addressing the root causes of the conflict in order to ensure a lasting peace and stability in Sudan. The ongoing conflict in Sudan is having a devastating impact on children’s lives. The international community must take urgent action to protect the most vulnerable children and ensure that they have access to essential services and resources.
