In Yemen, we are witnessing another layer of suffering being added to one of the world’s longest and most complex humanitarian crises. Today I asked the @UN Security Council to allow Yemen's children to build a future in safety. savethechildren.net/news/sav

Eight years ago, the UN Security Council unanimously condemned the deliberate starvation of civilians. But new analysis shows that hunger is being increasingly exploited as a weapon of war -- in Gaza, Sudan, Lebanon and Haiti among others. trib.al/SQIVsED

During his recent visit to Darfur, the Country Director of Save the Children in Sudan, Mohamed Abdiladif, witnessed the arrival of a critical health and nutrition shipment. The delivery of 65 metric tons of essential health and nutrition supplies to Darfur is a crucial step in our programming as we prepare for the rainy season. These supplies will bolster health and nutrition facilities in North, Central and West Darfur, enabling us to treat malnutrition, manage disease outbreaks and enhance our readiness for the rainy season #Darfur #Sudan #SaveTheChildren #NutritionSupport

Sudan: Number of children injured/killed by explosive weapons is rising with 3 years of war. “Every day we see children injured by weapons that should never have been used in populated areas...As families return home, risks are growing,” @Save_Children savethechildren.net/news/two

It is an incredible figure that 5.6 million babies were born in Sudan since the start of the war: 3 per minute. Both hopeful and depressing at the same time. savethechildren.org.au/media

.@WHO has verified yet another attack on health care in #Sudan. This time, Al Deain Teaching Hospital in East Darfur’s capital, Al Deain, was struck, killing at least 64 people, including 13 children, two female nurses, one male doctor, and multiple patients. As a result of this tragedy, the total number of fatalities linked to attacks on health facilities during Sudan’s war has now surpassed 2000. Over the nearly three-year conflict, WHO has confirmed that 2036 people have been killed in 213 attacks on health care, including Friday night’s strike in Al Deain. This latest attack also injured 89 people, including eight health staff, and damaged the hospital’s pediatric, maternity, and emergency departments. In total, more than 720 people have been injured in attacks on health care during the war to date. Beyond the devastating human toll, attacks on health care have immediate and long-term consequences for communities already in desperate need of both emergency and routine medical services. Al Deain Teaching Hospital is currently non-functional due to the extensive damage caused by the attack, resulting in a critical interruption of essential medical services. WHO is supporting local health partners to help fill urgent gaps by scaling up capacity at other health facilities. This includes strengthening primary health care services to provide outpatient, pediatric, and obstetric care; increasing capacity to treat the injured; and deploying trauma care supplies and essential medicines. Enough blood has been spilled. Enough suffering has been inflicted. The time has come to de-escalate the conflict in Sudan and ensure the protection of civilians, health workers, and humanitarians. Health care should never be a target. Peace is the best medicine.

US immigration officials picked up a blind Rohingya refugee last week in Buffalo, NY. Then, realizing they had no basis to deport him, they released him five miles from his home. He needed a walking stick and died trying to make his way back to his house: investigativepost.org/2026/0

We condemn the latest attacks on civilians in #Sudan. In one week, drones reportedly struck two primary schools in Dilling, South Kordofan, destroying buildings, and hit a market in Adikonq, West Darfur, causing deaths, injuries and major damage. Civilians are #NotATarget.

The crisis in Sudan continues to have devastating consequences, with highly volatile conditions in much of Greater Darfur and Greater Kordofan. The change in control of El Fasher in October 2025 led to widespread suffering and massive displacement of people into surrounding areas of North Darfur—driving up acute food insecurity and malnutrition. Conditions are desperate in Greater Kordofan, where intensified conflict continues to severely disrupt food production, supply lines, and access to basic services, increasing the risk of extreme hunger and acute malnutrition. 2/3

Sudan is facing one of the world’s most catastrophic humanitarian crises. Inger Ashing, @save_children CEO, visited a child-friendly space in Port #Sudan, where school meals, psychosocial care, and safe learning spaces are helping children learn, heal, and stay in school despite the crisis.
