    The escalating violence in Al Fasher, Sudan, is extremely dangerous for the estimated 130,000 children who remain trapped, surrounded by heavy fighting, relentless shelling, and critical shortages of food, safe water, and medicine. Children are at risk of being separated from their families, injured and exposed to continued grave violations of their rights. We urgently call for an immediate ceasefire and safe, unimpeded humanitarian access to all affected populations. Civilians, including children, must be protected at all times. Those who wish to move to safer areas must be guaranteed safe passage, in line with international humanitarian law. Those responsible for violations must be held to account.

    “The world cannot turn its back on children like those I met in South Sudan.” During his recent visit to South Sudan, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Liam Neeson met children whose lives have been impacted by climate change, poverty, and insecurity. He witnessed how communities are working tirelessly to support children and how UNICEF, donors and partners are providing life-saving services: For children like Augustino, a 14-month-old whose mother receives cash transfers to help care for him. Like Eliana, 3 months, who was vaccinated against polio. Like Lual, 7 months, who is being treated for severe acute malnutrition. But in South Sudan and around the world, global funding cuts are threatening these life-saving programmes. UNICEF will continue to stay and deliver for children, but we need decision-makers across the world to invest urgently in children's rights and well-being.

    In Al Fasher, Sudan, children and families are trapped as fighting engulfs the city. Across Darfur, the situation is dire, with rising malnutrition and disease. Last week, UNICEF’s Ted Chaiban was in Darfur. He met mothers like Salwa and Samiya, who are struggling to feed and protect their children. This is unacceptable. The violence must stop. Humanitarians must be allowed urgent and safe access.

    Since the start of the ceasefire in Gaza, UNICEF has been scaling up our response for children and families. With partners, we have been distributing key supplies like hygiene items to ensure protection from disease and hearing aids for children with hearing loss. UNICEF continues to call for the ceasefire to be maintained, a surge of much-needed goods and materials into Gaza, and safe access both for civilians and humanitarians.
