Deadly famine and landslide: thousands of children at risk
A devastating landslide has hit Sudan, killing hundreds and plunging children who were already suffering so much into an even greater crisis. The landslide followed days of torrential rain and has destroyed homes, leaving families with nowhere to sleep in a region that has seen years of war. Many children were already homeless, hungry, and scared – now they need help more than ever.
Sudan has been suffering from a deadly famine for over a year – every second, a child edges closer to death. Families are trapped in the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, and with the landslide their tragic situation will now get worse. Over 770,000 children are close to death from malnutrition and will not survive without immediate help. Mothers have no choice but to feed their hungry children grass – there is nothing else to eat.
Over 1,000 children have already died from a combination of hunger and disease in Sudan – UNICEF teams are on the ground now to prevent this awful tragedy happening to more families. But we cannot do it without you. Please give what you can to help children before it’s too late. They cannot wait a minute longer.
