Khartoum State

-

As I wrap up my visit to Sudan, where the conflict rages on unabated, at least 120 people were reportedly killed following shelling in Omdurman on 13 and 14 January. Early reports indicate that there were children among the casualties. 

Just days before, between 7 and 8 January, 23 children were reportedly killed and nine injured by shelling in Khartoum State. These are only a few examples of unconscionable violence against children. Since the conflict broke out in April 2023, thousands of children have been killed or injured, and sexual violence and child recruitment have been widely reported, with devastating consequences.

Children’s Rights

The world is facing a new and intensifying era of crisis for children. Many of these crises – including climate change, conflict and economic instability – are closely interconnected. They reflect a world of rising geopolitical tensions and competition among nations, which are hindering the implementation of solutions. To uphold children’s rights and well-being, action is needed to rethink and strengthen systems. Systems approaches (i.e., approaches that go beyond mere service delivery) are essential to build resilience into every area of children’s lives, whether it is disaster preparedness frameworks that safeguard schools and communities, education systems that can adapt during emergencies, or inclusive health-care systems that respond to immediate needs while planning for future risks. https://www.unicef.org/ Aim being with you, just keep strong and a little bit patient .

The war in the Gaza Strip has taken an unconscionable toll on children. At least 14,500 have been reported killed, with thousands more injured. Nearly every child in Gaza knows what it is to be displaced: Their families have been torn apart, their homes destroyed. No child will emerge from the horrors of bombardment without the imprint of trauma. UNICEF welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire, though this alone will not bring an end to children’s suffering. We’re mobilizing resources to scale up and expand our emergency response. Only with safe, unrestricted access throughout Gaza can humanitarians begin to get relief into children’s hands. https://www.unicef.org/ Aim being with you, just keep strong and a little bit patient
