The Sudan Doctors Network, a civilian-run medical group, said in a statement that the deaths occurred in and around El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, which has been under siege for more than a year amid heavy fighting between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The group cited a combination of food shortages, rising prices, medicine scarcity, and attacks on nutrition centers as key drivers of the child mortality crisis.
