Thousands of displaced families, including children and newborn babies, in Syria’s coastal city of Latakia are facing severe shortages of blankets, food, water, and electricity after deadly clashes earlier this month, with Save the Children delivering emergency supplies.
Time is running out for the nearly one million residents of Sudan's biggest refugee camp, many of whom are children, with food and medical supplies nearly depleted and Save the Children warning that it has just two days of medical supplies left in its mobile health clinics.
The conflict in Sudan has seen a major increase in intensity in recent weeks, with violence hitting a seven-month high in the country, with children on the frontline, said Save the Children. Violent incidents include airstrikes, artillery shelling, use of explosives and remote violence in multiple regions.
Nearly 500 unaccompanied and separated children have arrived in Blue Nile and Gedaref states in Sudan over six weeks as heavy fighting forces more people to flee for safety after 16 months of conflict, Save the Children said.
