"Devastating Toll: Over 500 Children Succumb to Hunger Amidst Sudan's Ongoing Conflict"

Save the Children reports that approximately 500 children have died from hunger in Sudan since fighting broke out in April, with 24 babies among the casualties in a government-run orphanage in Khartoum. The charity also highlights that 31,000 children lack access to treatment for malnutrition due to the closure of nutrition centers. The violence in Sudan has resulted in the deaths of at least 4,000 people, and over 947,000 individuals have fled the country. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification warns that over 20 million people in Sudan are experiencing high levels of acute food insecurity, with 6.3 million living in areas on the brink of famine.
