“Unless screening is happening, unless children are able to access public health institutions, medical institutions, I’m afraid it’s only going to get worse. That’s why it’s so critical that we ramp up public health services now. Not just security services, but public health services, that we get the messages out, what’s necessary to keep children safe, that it’s necessary to get vaccinated, that it’s necessary to drink clean water, that it’s necessary to ensure you don’t touch unexploded ordinance, that you make sure your house is safe before you go back home.“

STORYLINE:
As Sudan marked two years of civil war on Tuesday, aid agencies fear of the “massive" needs that the destruction of the country’s capital has left in its wake.
“As Khartoum opens up, I shudder to think about what are going to see and how great the needs are,” UNICEF representative to Sudan Sheldon Yett told The Associated Press in a video call.
The capital city of Khartoum is “trying to pick up the pieces," said Yett, but things like unexploded ordinance and devastated public services are still preventing people from going home.
“That’s why it’s so critical that we ramp up public health services now,” added Yett, “unless children are able to access public health institutions, medical institutions, I’m afraid it’s only going to get worse.”
Sudan plunged into war on April 15, 2023, after simmering tensions between the Sudanese military and a paramilitary organization known as the Rapid Support Forces. Fighting broke out in the capital, Khartoum, and spread across the country, killing at least 20,000 people, though the number is likely far higher.
Last month the Sudanese military regained control over Khartoum, a major symbolic victory in the war. But the RSF still controls most of the western region of Darfur and some other areas.
More than 300 civilians were killed in a burst of fighting in Darfur on Friday and Saturday, according to the U.N.
More than 3 million people have fled to neighboring countries including Chad and Egypt. Both sides in the war have been accused of committing war crimes.
The World Food Programme says nearly 25 million people — half of Sudan’s population — face extreme hunger.
