NEWS CENTER– Children in Sudan pay the harshest price of the ongoing conflict, as millions of them face the risk of death due to famine and acute malnutrition following the paralysis of the medical sector and the halt of vital food supplies, amid warnings of the loss of an entire generation due to the collapse of the fundamentals of life.

The General Coordination of Displacement and Refugee Camps in Darfur announced the death of at least 30 children and the injury of more than 100 others due to malnutrition in the "Soni" area in eastern Jebel Marra, amid severe warnings of the humanitarian and health situation spiraling out of control due to the collapse of medical services and the spread of famine. According to humanitarian reports from the "Leiba" administration in the same area, at least one death and the injury of 135 other children with the disease were recorded, simultaneously with the halt of agricultural activities as a result of the ongoing conflict and drought, which threatened the lives of thousands of civilians in Sudan.

The official spokesman for the Coordination said that the ongoing conflict caused a complete disruption of agricultural activity, and forced farmers to flee and leave their lands. He added that drought factors and the decline in agricultural production rates directly contributed to deepening the severity of the food crisis and widening the hunger gap in the country.

In a related context, humanitarian affairs officials in the "Leiba" administration affiliated with the Omo district in eastern Jebel Marra confirmed the spread of acute malnutrition among children in the area, revealing the recording of at least one death and the injury of more than 135 children with the disease, with the daily injury indicator continuing to escalate as a result of the lack of medical services.

The humanitarian official pointed out that the "Leiba" health center had completely stopped working for about nine months due to the absence of medical support and healthcare, before resuming its activity last March to receive this huge number of cases, confirming that the daily influx of infected children clearly shows the humanitarian situation spiraling out of control in the area.
