Largest humanitarian crisis in Sudan at present with 15,000,000 children in need of humanitarian support.

Dreadful statistics.

Not an aibu. More a 'so children one country in crisis'. We are lucky to be born in the west (MN is predominantly UK based)

"Sudan has been the scene of prolonged armed conflicts - both internal and external - since 1950. Political and border disputes have fuelled tensions inside the country. Violent clashes for control of natural resources - from grazing rights to oil - contribute to the atmosphere of violence.
The current ongoing armed conflict which began in April 2023 has created the worst humanitarian situation in the world. Over 25 million people have been affected, with close to 12.7 million people displaced and in urgent need of protection, mental health and psychosocial support, and education. Of that number, around 50% are children.
More than 1 million people – both Sudanese refugees and South Sudanese returnees – have sought refuge in South Sudan, including an estimated 713,000 children. At least 72,000 people have reached Uganda seeking shelter.
This influx has placed immense strain on neighbouring countries like South Sudan which is already grappling with existing humanitarian challenges, and where War Child is also operating."

Situation of Children
The ongoing crisis has particularly affected vulnerable groups such as women and children, who arrive in refugee camps exhausted and traumatised. The conditions in these camps are dire, with overcrowding, limited access to food, water, and healthcare, highlighting the urgent need for continued humanitarian support.

With 90% of schools closed and an estimated 17 million children currently out of school, education is in freefall.

Sudan is a country in Africa. Sudan has a colossal humanitarian crisis which has been ongoing for some time now. Have a read of the links.

It tends to get forgotten/ignored though.

Warchild do give funds to Gaza but have launched a new appeal for Sudan which sadly is a far bigger humanitarian crisis, involving 15 million children.
