Meet 6-year-old Mazin.

Born with a mobility impairment, he now eagerly joins other children at the @UNICEF-supported Child Friendly Space in Shagarab Camp, #Kassala.

Funded by @DutchMFA through #PROSPECTS, these safe spaces help refugee children learn, play, heal & thrive.

🚀 Exciting news! #PROSPECTS Phase 2 is here! Together with @UNICEF, @UNHCR, and @ILO, we’re strengthening education, social protection, decent work, and infrastructure in Sudan—building resilience for host communities & forcibly displaced people. #Inclusion #Resilience

[NLinSudan @NLinSudan]

This week, the Sudan PROSPECTS partners are reviewing key achievements and challenges to strengthen their work. The Netherlands is committed to supporting protection, education, and livelihoods for displaced people and host communities in Kassala & White Nile State. #PROSPECTS

Today I had the great pleasure of spending time with UNICEF colleagues in #Sudan.

I am tremendously proud of the work they are doing in the most difficult circumstances.

"It was a beautiful moment with my friends. It was our last moment together." ​

Sudan has become the world’s largest child displacement crisis, with around 4.6 million #children forced from their homes since April 2023.​

Children in #Sudan need a ceasefire. NOW.

[Catherine Russell @unicefchief]

.@Unicef has helped evacuate hundreds of children in #Sudan as war continues to put millions at risk.

For many of these children it's the second time fleeing fighting.

Children urgently need a ceasefire across Sudan, protection and care.

So worried: millions of children caught #Sudan war

Relieved to have evacuated babies & kids from Madani battlelines

Once again on the move, safe now, getting to end of their journey

Grateful for safe passage made possible by cooperation of both sides & support of key partners

Roses, not guns.

This powerful painting was created by 10-year-old Majed Tarek, who lived in #Khartoum and lost two friends, Sarah and Israr, to the violence of fighting.

“This painting is for every child affected by the war. No bullets, one rose for each child.” #RosesNotGuns

[Iolanda Genovese @iolandagen]

Weeks of sleepless nights until trough a joint effort we managed to bring to safety 297 children.

Proud of being part of @UNICEFSudan 💙🩵

[UNICEF Sudan - اليونيسف في السودان @UNICEFSudan]

This is how humanity and kindness triumphs over the devastation of fighting in #Sudan.

Watch the lifesaving work of the @UNICEFSudan team with the children from #mygoma.

We never give up, #ForEveryChild

[Mary Louise Eagleton @mleagleton]

What’s happening to children in mygoma orphanage in Khartoum in a microcosm of what’s happening to children all across Sudan- those trapped in active conflict and those fleeing with their families. Children need to be protected at all times.

[Mandeep O’Brien @MandeepOBrien]

At Alwaha community center in Port #Sudan, It supports 7 IDP gathering sites with hot food cooked by volunteers🙏
Then to a gathering site; #UNICEFSudan & SCCW provide recreational kits for kids and water. Happy to see partners & our support #ForEveryChild. Saddened by huge need.

[Mandeep O’Brien @MandeepOBrien]

@UNICEFsudan delivered to 6 healthcare centers in El Fasher critical water, sanitation & hygiene supplies to support vulnerable children & families affected by the conflict raging in #Sudan

We appeal for better access to serve many more so we can deliver #ForEveryChild

[UNICEF Sudan - اليونيسف في السودان @UNICEFSudan]

To protect you and your loved ones, @UNICEFSudan urges civilians, children and families to follow the following preventive measures in #Sudan, especially in #khartoum:

#ForEveryChild, protection
