Water is not a luxury. It is a child’s right. Access to safe water for the most vulnerable children protects them from preventable diseases and provides them with dignity, and the chance for a healthy future. #ForEveryChild, clean and safe water #WorldWaterDay

"I lost my child on the way here." Umsiyad fled fighting in #Kordofan region with 5 children, but arrived at an IDP site in #WhiteNile with only 4. Her 3-year-old daughter lost her life to #malnutrition and illness during the journey. No mother should have to endure this.

Sudan’s war is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis and children are paying the highest price. Over 9 million children have been displaced. This week in Brussels, UN agencies urge the EU to act on this “invisible” crisis. UNICEF counts on EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 & the EU International Partnerships 🇪🇺.

Attacks on health care are a blatant violation of international humanitarian law. World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF raise alarm over escalating attacks in Sudan. Health care is #NotATarget. unicef.link/41ypB8F

“My house was red… and there were red roses.” Three years of war in Sudan. Still stealing childhoods. Children have lost loved ones, homes, schools. Displaced again and again. Hunger is rising. Disease is spreading. Childhood is being replaced by survival. Everyday counts.

Famine conditions have been confirmed in multiple locations. Children are facing life-threatening malnutrition—especially in areas cut off from aid. “Food is very hard to get — sometimes I don’t eat.” — Atef, 11 This isn't an inevitability; it’s a preventable crisis.

ثلاث سنوات من الحرب في السودان. ثلاث سنوات من الفقد والألم والصراع، يدفع الأطفال ثمنها الباهظ. لا يمكن للأطفال أن ينجوا من ثلاث سنوات من الحرب دون عواقب. لكن الأطفال ما زالوا يأملون. الأمل وحده لا يكفي. unicef.link/4dNLtUF
