3.7 million children under the age of 5 are at risk

In the joint statement made by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), it was stated that the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where millions of people urgently need aid, is getting worse. The statement called for intensifying international intervention to meet the needs of those affected by the conflict in Sudan, and noted that access to basic services such as clean water, health and shelter has become extremely limited and vital infrastructure has collapsed in the country.

In the statement, it was stated that approximately 3.7 million children under the age of 5 are at risk of acute malnutrition this year and urgently need life-saving treatment. “These children are already vulnerable due to hunger, and if they are not reached in a short time, they are at a higher risk of dying from preventable diseases than their healthy peers.” “It will be 11 times higher,” it was said.

The statement emphasized that the number of people displaced inside and outside the country due to conflicts in the country is more than 11 million, and that there are restrictions on the United Nations’ ability to provide life-saving supplies and protection to the most vulnerable groups.
