UNICEF official warns of the mandatory situation for children in El Fasher – the seventh day

Eva Hends, head of the advocacy and communication department in UNICEF Sudan, warned of the very difficult situation in El -Fasher and the surrounding areas, especially the Zamzam camp, which had announced the outbreak of famine in it, and said: “This is a place where death represents a continuous threat to children, whether it is because of the fighting around them or because of the collapse of the services they depend on to survive.”

UNICEF official added that there are other terrible numbers, in North Darfur, nearly 70 children were killed or injured in less than three months, while the Zamzam camp alone witnessed 16% of the total confirmed injuries among the children of El -Fasher as a result of the bombing and air strikes.

The UN official explained that the threat is not limited to bombing and battles. Because of the closure of access methods and the targeting of armed groups to villages, the delivery of aid has become almost impossible and as a result, children and their families face a severe shortage of water, food, medicine and food supplies, which led to a crazy rise in prices.
