UNICEF says Sudan is experiencing a child protection emergency, stressing that the future of Sudan depends on a ceasefire.
According to the UNICEF, the declaration of famine in Camp Zamzam is significant because it is the third time in the last 20 years that such severe food insecurity has been announced.
As the violence in Sudan continues, UNICEF has discovered that at least 18 million children are out of school.
As the rainy season approaches, infections are predicted to spread more rapidly.
A UNICEF official revealed that there is a five-fold increase in grave child rights violations, as the agency tries to provide support to all children in Sudan.
According to the official when there are issues of malnutrition, stresses of lack of food, families often turn to negative coping mechanisms.
Children are more likely to work as child labourers and are more likely to marry early.
