GENEVA (Reuters) - The U.N. children's agency warned on Friday of a potential
catastrophic loss of lives in Sudan as the civil war worsens hunger and called
for a massive mobilisation of resources.
Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has been fighting Sudan's army
for control of the country in a war that has killed thousands, displaced
millions of people inside and outside the country and sparked warnings of
famine.
"The brutal war in Sudan is pushing the country towards a famine and unless
there is sufficient political will, attention and resources put towards the
response now, we are looking at a potential catastrophic loss of lives," Jill
Lawler, chief of field operations and emergency for UNICEF in Sudan, said at a
U.N. briefing in Geneva.
She was part of the first U.N. mission back to the capital Khartoum since
fighting between the army and the RSF began there in April 2023. The 12-person
team found malnourished children living in pitch black hospitals because their
generators had failed, she said.
A three-month-old baby was extremely sick because the mother, who could not
afford milk, had substituted goat milk leading to diarrhoea. "Hunger is
pervasive – it is the number one concern people expressed," said Lawler.
In another facility, up to three patients were sharing beds.
The agency has previously warned that up to 3.7 million children are projected
to be acutely malnourished this year in Sudan, including 730,000 who need
lifesaving treatment.
