Sudanese children face acute malnutrition as conflict drives world's worst humanitarian crisis

Saturday, 16 May 2026, 06:25 · 1 min read

An estimated 4.2 million children in Sudan are projected to suffer acute malnutrition by 2026, according to UNICEF and local NGOs working to meet basic needs amid the country's ongoing armed conflict. The United Nations has warned that 19.5 million people across Sudan are currently experiencing acute hunger, underscoring the scale of a crisis that has been described as the world's worst humanitarian disaster. Aid organisations are struggling to maintain even minimal food access in affected areas, with some families surviving on little more than a cup of tea a day.
