During conflict, clean & safe water are a lifeline for children & families.
Three years of war in #Sudan have damaged water systems, disrupted essential services, including water supply, and put millions of children at risk.
@UNICEF Sudan Chief of WASH, Samuel Godfrey, explains.
In Khartoum, I met 6 months old Fauzia from Kutum-North Darfur with her mom Halima attending treatment for severe malnutrition in @UNICEFSudan supported clinic. They fled conflict in Darfur. Mom hopes Fauzia will grow to be a doctor! Needs high for returnees and IDPs in Khartoum

“When we visited Tawila in mid-October, I had no idea the situation would become so drastic,” says Tewoldeberhan, @UNICEF Chief of Nutrition.
Thousands fleeing #AlFasher arrive exhausted & malnourished.
The needs are immense — but UNICEF & partners remain determined to respond.
Thousands of families have fled #AlFasher, seeking safety in Tawila.
UNICEF and partners are providing lifesaving aid including water, health and protection services to children and families who lost everything.
Last week we visited @UNICEFSudan and partners work in Jabal Mara, up to Tawila in North Darfur. Humbling to see the dedication of our field team and partners supporting half a million IDPs from El Fasher. The needs are enormous. More is needed #ForEveryChild. @UNICEFAfrica
Nearly 400 thousand children and women in four localities of El Gezira (Alkamleen, Alhashessa, Um Algora and South Gezira) benefited from nutritional screening and provision of micronutrients through integrated nutrition campaign earlier this week
“There were 838,000 children in Sudan last year who did not receive a single dose of vaccine – the third-highest figure in the world.”

My colleague Abu Baker in Tawilla visiting families fleeing violence in Zamzam and Al Fasher. The need to scaled up humanitarian response is urgent! @UNICEFSudan is doing all we can alongside partners.
Abubaker Ahmed, @UNICEF Nutrition Specialist, reporting from Tawila, North #Darfur — where families fleeing violence in Zamzam and Al Fasher urgently need help.
We must scale up life-saving health, nutrition, water, and protection services — now.
Very happy to learn from my colleague in Tawila in North Darfur about UNICEF response on the ground alongside partners. The situation remains critical!
#ForEveryChild, lifesaving supplies. In the past 3 weeks, @UNICEF with partners delivered health, nutrition, water, hygiene, sanitation, protection & education supplies to Tawila, Zalingi, Golo, Nertiti, Rokero, & Korma, North Darfur. Over 960,000 people will benefit from them.
