US EditionFunding Cuts Reducing Sudanese Children to 'Skin, Bones': UNICEF
SUDAN, AUG 5 – Only 23% of the $4.16 billion aid plan for Sudan is funded, limiting access to food and healthcare and putting children at risk of permanent harm, UNICEF said.
- UNICEF warned on Tuesday that ongoing funding reductions are placing Sudanese children at severe risk, as widespread malnutrition continues and critical support services are being withdrawn.
- This crisis results from conflict between the Sudanese army and Rapid Support Forces that has displaced millions and divided the country into rival zones.
- Aid delivery faces challenges due to inaccessible roads in the rainy season, siege conditions in Al-Fashir, and famine confirmed one year ago in ZamZam camp where no food has reached.
- Only 23% of the $4.16 billion international aid appeal for Sudan has been secured, with UNICEF’s Sheldon Yett warning that the organization is operating under extreme pressure as many children suffer and die from severe malnutrition.
- These conditions imply irreversible damage to a generation of children and escalating famine risks particularly in southern districts near Khartoum unless access and funding improve urgently.
