Unicef ​​​​warns of millions of children suffering from hunger in Sudan

The United Nations children’s fund (UNICEF) has issued an alert saying millions of children are going hungry in Sudan.

Unicef boss, Catherine Russell says Sudan is one of the worst places in the world for children.

She said the country has now the largest displacement of children anywhere, with millions facing malnutrition and most not in school

The pillars of Sudan’s food economy have collapsed, and both warring parties – the Sudanese army and a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) – are restricting the delivery of desperately needed aid.

“We’re long past time where we need to act, we need to act now or it’s just going to get worse,” Ms Russell said.
