Born into conflict. Fighting in Sudan forced Hawa to give birth at a UNICEF-supported shelter far away from home. #ForEveryChild, peace.

“It’s really horrific. Children have been caught amidst the fighting across the country and these children in the orphanage are really the most, most vulnerable,” says Mary Louise Eagleton from Unicef Sudan bbc.in/3N8es7M

In a UNICEF Sudan - اليونيسف في السودان supported child friendly space in Port Sudan, 6 yr old Rayan, a Syrian refugee, was withdrawn until I drew a measly little house and asked about her home, her face lit up and she said hers was beautiful and much bigger…see the end result! ❤️

What’s happening to children in mygoma orphanage in Khartoum in a microcosm of what’s happening to children all across Sudan- those trapped in active conflict and those fleeing with their families. Children need to be protected at all times.

Millions of children in Sudan need help now. As the conflict continues, many have been displaced and are living in temporary shelters. UNICEF and partners are working to provide urgent health, water, nutrition and mental health support.

Each violation is a boy or girl whose childhood has been stolen and who has been traumatized by conflict. As the clashes in #Sudan continue, the number of such violations is only growing. Children in Sudan need peace, now!

But with UNICEF Sudan - اليونيسف في السودان's help, she's been able to bounce back. A hopeful story amidst the conflict: unicefusa.org/stories/what-i…

After weeks of effort & grave concern, 297 highly vulnerable children from #Mygoma orphanage reached safety. Work underway for their safe placement in family care. Let us not forget the many lives that were lost & that millions of children still suffer in #Sudan. #ForEveryChild

Narine, UNICEF's emergency specialist, was supporting the relocation of children to safety. "It is hard to comprehend how the ongoing conflict of adults affected these little babies... This (relocation) is a moment of triumph of humanity & kindness over the devastation of war."
