UNICEF’s Sudan representative warned that if the war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces continues, a generation-long disaster will ensue.
UNICEF Country Representative for the Republic of Sudan Mandeep O’Brien said: “The conflict in Sudan is endangering the health of 24 million children and thus the country’s future, which could have dire consequences for the entire region.”
She added, “The country’s future is in danger. Nearly 20 million children will not go to school this year if there is no swift action.”
O’Brien confirms that “14 million children are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance” in this country of 48 million people, noting that “millions of Sudanese children are exposed to death, injury, recruitment, violence and rape.”
She explains that with the almost complete destruction of infrastructure in Sudan, attacks on humanitarian organizations, and the looting of their warehouses, “7.4 million children have been deprived of access to clean drinking water, and more than 3.5 million children are at risk of contracting diseases related to poor hygiene conditions.”
