Tens of Thousands, Incl. Unaccompanied Children, Pour into Sudan’s Qadarif as Conflict Rages On

HeadlineJul 17, 2024

As Sudan’s warring parties continue to fight for control, UNICEF reports some 50,000 people have fled and sought refuge in the eastern region of Qadarif, with many more expected to arrive in the coming days as they escape the violence. This is UNICEF program coordinator Nasra Islan.

Nasra Islan: “So far, 400 children have been registered here, of which they are receiving several services, including mental and psychosocial support. … As we have seen, many of the children and families are missing their loved ones here.”
