The Sudanese military is intensifying its efforts to reclaim the capital, Khartoum, from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), but the battle is coming at a devastating cost, particularly for the country’s children. As fighting rages on, young lives are being torn apart by violence, hunger, and injury.

The hospital is overflowing with child patients, many suffering from war-related injuries, malnutrition, and sickness. According to Dr. Maha Hussein, the Director-General of the hospital, the ongoing war with the RSF has led to a flood of children in need of urgent medical attention.
