Children face escalating violence and deaths in Sudan amid 2026 conflict

UNICEF reports over 1,500 grave violations against children in El Fasher since April 2024, with 160 killed and 85 injured in Sudan during the first three months of 2026.
Violations include killings, maiming by explosive weapons, sexual violence, abductions, and forced recruitment, with actual numbers likely higher. Critical infrastructure destruction has left families without food, water, or healthcare, worsening famine and disease.
UNICEF warns current violence exceeds 2005 levels, urges all parties to protect children and allow humanitarian aid, and calls for increased donor support as global attention to Darfur's crisis declines.
