Since heavy fighting erupted in the capital city of Sudan in mid-April, millions of children’s lives have been turned upside down. The latest bout of conflict has forced millions to flee their homes and shattered access to food, water, fuel, healthcare and other essential services.
This all comes as Sudan was already facing its worst-ever humanitarian crisis. 13.6 million children now need humanitarian support.
The horrors of conflicts like this can have a severe and long-lasting impact on children’s mental health, unless they receive the urgent support they need. Children will have witnessed or experienced unimaginable violence.
The conflict is also denying millions of children their education. Even before this latest escalation in violence, 6.9 million children were not attending school.9 The latest insecurities will only deepen the existing learning crisis.
