The latest analysis of food insecurity and malnutrition in Sudan shows stark contrasts along conflict lines. In areas where violence has subsided – allowing humanitarian access and market recovery – food security has begun to improve. But in conflict-hit locations that have been largely cut off from humanitarian assistance or under siege, famine has now taken hold. “The deadly combination of hunger, disease and displacement is placing millions of children at risk,” said Lucia Elmi, UNICEF Director of Emergency Operations. “Among them, girls often bear the brunt facing increased risks of malnutrition, gender-based violence, and being pulled out of school. Therapeutic food, safe water, and essential medicines and health services can save lives, but only if we can reach children in time. We urgently need parties to abide by their obligations under international law and to provide humanitarian actors with safe, timely and unhindered access to children.” FAO, WFP and UNICEF call for an end to hostilities and safe, unimpeded and sustained humanitarian access, which is urgently needed to prevent further loss of life and protect livelihoods.

In many of the communities most affected, there are already social workers, women-led groups, and community volunteers who remain present, trusted and deeply connected to the families and children in crisis. How can we meaningfully empower these local actors to take part in the response, especially in areas where humanitarian access remains restricted?

Thank you, UNICEF, for your vital work and urgent advocacy. Your efforts to protect children, especially girls at risk of famine, violence, and lost education in Sudan, are both courageous and essential. Safe, unhindered humanitarian access must be prioritized to save lives now.

2dA heartbreaking reminder of how conflict deepens hunger and suffering for children. 💔 Every delay in access costs lives — especially for girls facing the harshest impacts. Safe humanitarian corridors and urgent action are the only way to prevent an even greater tragedy. #ChildrenFirst #HumanitarianAccess
