UNICEF: More than One Million Children Displaced Due to Conflict in Sudan

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has reported that at least one million children have been displaced in the past two months due to the conflict in Sudan between the army and the "Rapid Support Forces," noting that about 25 percent of them are in the Darfur region. The organization stated in a press release, "More than one million children have been displaced as a result of two months of conflict in Sudan," adding that it has received reports of "the death of more than 330 children and injuries to over 1,900." It pointed out that the conflict has led to the deaths of more than 2,000 people according to the latest figures from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED). However, the actual numbers may be much higher, according to relief agencies and international organizations. The ongoing fighting, with no prospects for a resolution, has resulted in the displacement of more than 2.2 million people, with over 528,000 of them seeking refuge in neighboring countries, according to the latest data from the International Organization for Migration.
