According to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), both boys and girls of one crore million children need humanitarian assistance.
The number of children dependent on human assistance, the country’s armed forces and the paramilitary forces (RSF) were 782 lakh before the war began in 2021.
UNICEF says that violence against children has increased starvation and disease and life is spread through displacement.
In the midst of all this, access to the needy areas for human activities and money is reduced, while the monsoon is shaking in May.
Call to raise support
“It will be even more difficult with the arrival of the monsoon,” said UNICEF executive director, already reaching children with malnutrition and illness. “
He urged the international community to “go ahead with Sudan’s children and allow this important opportunity to take appropriate action.”
Sudan is currently the largest human and child displacement crisis in the world. This year more than 3 million people need humanitarian assistance.
Lonely young life
Due to the war, one million people have been forced to escape their homes in search of protection and go to other places of Sudan or cross the border.
More than half of these children are, about a third of the children are under five years of age.
According to UNICEF, children will be at risk due to limited access to unfortunate explosives and required services.
Meanwhile, famine situation is increasing, the vaccine rate for drug protection diseases is decreasing and about 90 percent of children are out of school.
Due to many other conversations, the situation is getting worse. For example, the number of serious human rights violations against children has increased by ten times, killing and disabled; Abduction; The recruitment of child soldiers for war and their use in conflict; Rape and other types of sexual violence; Attacks at school and hospital; And rejects people’s access.
Famine and disease
According to the UN World Food Program (WFP), famine has been confirmed in five places and there are threats of famine in many other places. UNICEF warns that due to the closure of the monsoon, some regions may be sensitive to floods.
The company has reminded that between 2022 and 2021, about 5 percent of patients admitted to the hospital have suffered serious malnutrition due to rain.
This means that if this trend continues, this year up to 4 lakh 62 thousand children may be hit by it this year too.
There is also the possibility of increasing the prevalence of the disease. Last year, Cholera was registered with 49 thousand cases and more than 11,000 cases of Dengue Bukr, which was originally affected by mothers and children.
During the rainy season, the outbreak of the disease increases. The situation can become more serious due to the lack of water, cleanliness and cleanliness, and the lack of cleanliness in the monsoon.
Fears of lack of money
At the same time, people’s reaching to Sudan’s children is decreasing due to the increase in war and the restrictions imposed by government officials or other armed groups.
Financial support for life -saving services is also decreasing, which is due to the necessary health, nutrition, education and protection programs in danger.
UNICEF has applied for a billion dollars for its activities in Sudan in 2021, which is equal to US $ 76 per person, or only 26 cents per day.
“Sudan is the largest humanitarian crisis in the present, but the world is not focusing on it,” said Catherine Rusile.
He said, “We cannot leave the children of Sudan alone. We have the ability to increase our skills and support. But it requires us to have continuous financial assistance and accessories.”
“The most important thing is to end this horrible conflict for the welfare of Sudan’s children.”
