Catherine Russell, Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), said Sudan is currently experiencing the world's largest humanitarian crisis. Russell called for urgent assistance, drawing attention to the seriousness of the situation in the country.
“We Need Access and Continuous Funding”
UNICEF has the expertise and determination to scale up lifesaving support, Russell said, but stressed that for this support to be effective, access and sustained funding are needed.
“Children in Sudan Need an End to Conflict”
Russell’s most striking statement was, “The children of Sudan need this terrible conflict to end the most.” This statement reveals that the conflict in Sudan affects children the most and that an urgent solution is vital.
The humanitarian crisis in Sudan continues to capture the attention of the international community. UNICEF's statement highlights the seriousness of the situation in the country and strengthens the call for urgent assistance.
