“Over the past week, I travelled from Port Sudan to Aj Jazeera and Khartoum States, witnessing the impact that this crisis – the world’s largest humanitarian crisis – is having on children and families.

“During the mission, I saw homes, houses, and buildings destroyed. I saw our warehouse in Khartoum looted and reduced to rubble. I saw our humanitarian supplies in that warehouse had been destroyed. I saw communities uprooted and children who had been forced to flee living in overcrowded neighbourhoods.

I met mothers who walked for very long distances to find safety, and health workers who cared for the sick and malnourished despite the risks. I also saw our teams and partners work tirelessly, often in perilous and uncertain conditions, continuing to deliver lifesaving aid.
