전쟁으로 폐허가 된 수단에서 벌어지는 인도주의 위기 

 

Sudanese armed forces celebrate as they advance in Omdurman, the twin city of the capital Khartoum. The army 1releasing these videos last week, seeing it as a win in its war against the 2paramilitary rapid support forces. In North Darfur, the agony of Sudan's children, the youngest victims of a war that has 3raged for 10 months. This small clinic run by the aid group Doctors Without Borders in the Zamzam camp is the only one for miles. A child dies every two hours here, the agency says, as the war has led to 4catastrophic cases of 5malnutrition. 

 

Cheick Traor, Emergency Coordinator, Doctors Without Borders: We have over 200 patients every day waiting for treatment. And they are not coming only within the camp, they are coming also from the surrounding area, seeking, looking for health care. 

 

They're 6overwhelmed, but these mothers and their children have nowhere else to go. 

 

Ashia Abubaker Adam, Displaced Sudanese Mother: We are out of everything, even wheat. Now we just get i7nsignificant amounts of food to make it through the day. I have five children apart from this one. 

 

Sudan has the world's largest 8displacement crisis, the UN says, as 15% of the 9population have fled their homes. Humanitarian workers say it is not getting enough funding or attention. 

 

Mary Louise Eagleton, UNICEF Sudan Deputy Representative: It feels like the country's really been 10abandoned and the country's children have really been abandoned. What this means for families and children is that they're facing a 11lethal combination of displacement, hunger, and disease 12outbreaks

 

Toby Harward, UN Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan: It is arguably the biggest 13humanitarian crisis today. It is bigger than the other crises that get a lot more attention.
