Save the Children: Hundreds of children have died in Sudan due to hunger
The international humanitarian organization Save the Children has reported the deaths of hundreds of children in Sudan due to hunger. The Save the Children organization said in its statement yesterday that, since April this year, at least 498 children, and probably hundreds more, have died of starvation in Sudan. The statement said that the forced closure of 57 of the organization's food stores due to the civil war in Sudan has prevented 31,000 children from getting food who are suffering from malnutrition and other related diseases. The Save the Children report says, there is a severe shortage of food in the 108 stores that are still operating in Sudan, and emergency savings are only used in extreme situations.
Save the Children: Hundreds of Sudanese children have died of hunger According to the international organization, theft of food warehouses and restrictions on the travel of trucks carrying food provided under the World Food Program have fueled hunger in the African country. . Last Friday, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) announced that the children of Sudan need $400 million in aid to survive. The war for power in Sudan began on April 15 between the country's army and the Rapid Response Forces (RSF), and international mediation to end the crisis has not been successful.
