Highlights
In the Darfur States – already scarred by decades of violence – the latest conflict has unleashed new waves of violence and pushed many communities into catastrophe. In North Darfur’s capital Al Fasher and, its surrounding camps, children are enduring horrific violence, displacement and trauma on top of a worsening hunger crisis and spreading famine. International aid agencies are struggling to respond amid active fighting and access blockades, while continuing to urge all parties to stop the violence and allow critical lifesaving aid to reach those in need.
This humanitarian snapshot highlights the situation in Al Fasher, Zamzam Camp, and Tawila, and explores the impact on children as well as the funding constraints and access challenges facing UNICEF and other organizations.
