The situation of children in Sudan is dire, and global attention needs to increase.

30 million people across the country need humanitarian assistance. Half of them are children.

UNICEF and partners are on the ground prioritizing their needs, but what children really need is a ceasefire NOW.

An estimated 130,000 children in Al Fasher, Sudan, are at a high risk of grave rights violations, with reports of abduction, killing and maiming, and sexual violence.

UNICEF calls for an immediate ceasefire, safe, unimpeded humanitarian access, and the protection of civilians, especially children.

Yet again, we're seeing horrific reports of the killing of seven children in Gaza this time as they were waiting for water at a distribution site.

In a play activity at a UNICEF-supported temporary space in Gaza, Yamen, 7, drew a wish: a sky without drones and warplanes.

A long-lasting ceasefire is vital for children’s survival. Share Yamen’s wish to show your support.
