US Edition13 Children Died of Malnutrition-Related Causes in a Darfur Camp, a Sudan Doctors’ Group Says
LAGAWA CAMP, EAST DARFUR, SUDAN, JUL 28 – Thirteen children died amid severe food shortages in a camp hosting over 7,000 displaced people, with malnutrition cases rising 46% in Darfur this year, UNICEF reported.
- Thirteen children died last month of malnutrition-related causes in the Lagawa camp for displaced people in East Darfur, Sudan.
- In April 2023, violent clashes erupted between Sudan’s military and the Rapid Support Forces in Khartoum, leading to widespread instability across the country.
- The camp provides shelter to more than 7,000 displaced individuals, predominantly women and children, and is facing critical shortages of food amid ongoing outbreaks of cholera, measles, malaria, and famine in the Darfur and southern Kordofan regions.
- UNICEF reported a 46% surge between January and May in children treated for severe acute malnutrition across Darfur, with over 40,000 admitted in North Darfur, double last year's number.
- Humanitarian organizations have called on conflicting parties to permit aid deliveries, with UNICEF’s Sheldon Yett emphasizing that the fate of children hinges on the global community’s decision to either intervene or ignore the crisis.
