'“Refugees from #Sudan are fleeing for their lives & yet are being met with more hunger, despair, & limited resources on the other side of the border..."' WFP: Sudanese refugees face escalating hunger and malnutrition amid major food aid cuts www.dabangasudan.org/en/all-news/... #News #SudanNews
Does UNICEF help this population?
"23 June 2025 – UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell today concluded a three-day mission to Chad, warning of the worsening crisis affecting children in the eastern part of the country that has seen the arrival of hundreds of thousands of refugees from Sudan." www.unicef.org/press-releas...
"Russell met with children living in host communities and child refugees as the number of children displaced by the Sudan conflict has now exceeded two million – a staggering figure that includes over 700,000 children who have crossed into eastern Chad since violence erupted in April 2023."
"In Adré and surrounding areas, UNICEF-supported teams have vaccinated thousands of children, provided safe water to tens of thousands, and established child-friendly spaces and gender based violence services."
"However, critical funding gaps remain. UNICEF requires $114 million for its 2025 humanitarian response in Chad, including eastern Chad. The overall response is currently 34 per cent funded."
Well I don’t have anywhere near that much, but I can increase my monthly support to them at least a little.

"More than 70% of hospitals in conflict-affected areas in Sudan are non-operational, putting the lives of children at risk. To respond to the critical needs of displaced children and their families, UNICFE’s mobile clinics in Atbara state ensures healthcare reach..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbKi...
In our world today, it has become okay to starve refugees. What an unkind heartless bunch of people we have become.
' “Millions of people who have fled Sudan depend wholly on support from WFP, but without additional funding we will be forced to make further cuts to food assistance. This will leave vulnerable families, and particularly children, at increasingly severe risk of hunger and malnutrition.”'
'Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rates among refugee children in reception centres in Uganda and South Sudan have already breached emergency thresholds as refugees are severely malnourished even before arriving in bordering countries to receive emergency assistance.'
"WFP needs just over US$200 million to sustain its emergency response for Sudanese refugees in neighbouring countries for the next 6 months. An additional $575 million is needed for life-saving operations for the most vulnerable inside Sudan."
