UNICEF Issues 'Child Alert' for Darfur as Deprivation Hits Critical Threshold

UNICEF warned on April 29 that 5 million children in Sudan's Darfur states are facing extreme deprivation as the conflict enters its fourth year. The agency issued a rare 'Child Alert' to signal that the humanitarian situation has reached a catastrophic threshold, with verified reports of over 1,500 grave violations against children in El Fasher since April 2024. Famine conditions and the collapse of immunization programs have pushed malnutrition rates over 50 percent in multiple locations.
