Sudan: More Than 5,700 Grave Violations Against Children Verified - UNICEF Briefing | United Nations

Briefing by Hannan Sulieman, Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF, on reports of the Secretary-General on the Sudan and South Sudan. “The violence children face in Sudan extends far beyond the battlefield. Since the conflict began, the United Nations has verified more than 5,700 grave violations against children. More than 5,000 children have been killed or maimed, but the real figure is undoubtedly much higher,” she said. “Children are being killed in their homes. They are being injured while fleeing violence. They are being caught in crossfire, shelling, drone strikes, and attacks using explosive weapons in populated areas. During the first four months of this year alone, nearly 80 per cent of reported child casualties were linked to drone attacks,” Sulieman said. She also flagged the war's impact on education. “Nearly half of Sudan's school buildings can no longer function as classrooms. Today, at least eight million children are out of school. For girls, the consequences are particularly severe, increasing the risks of child marriage, sexual violence, and other forms of exploitation,” Sulieman said.

Sudan: Its Border & Sovereignty Should Be Respected - Press conference | United Nations

Press Conference by Pekka Haavisto, Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General for Sudan, on the situation in the country. Haavisto expressed alarm about ongoing hostilities around the city of El-Obeid, in North Kordofan State, and warned “a further escalation of the situation would place thousands of people at the risk.” Haavisto told reporters in New York that hostilities, including frequent drone strikes, “are already affecting the civilians and affecting too humanitarian aid to the city.” He said, “unfortunately, the situation reminds a little bit of the earlier developments in Darfur and around El-Fasher and reminds that there are immediate risks for the civilian population.” The using of the drones, the Special Envoy said, “has been increasing and the drone attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure has been increasing,” adding that these drones “are not Sudan made. They come from the international market.” He expressed hope that the so-called Quad (United States, Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt) “could advance with the humanitarian truce, which would help a lot the civilian situation on the ground, but also, help a lot our other goals to have a peaceful solution to the conflict.” Haavisto said both the head of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), General Mohamed Hamdan Daglo (Hemedti) and the Commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, “still think that something can be achieved militarily in this conflict.” To conclude, he said, “there should be one Sudan. Its border should be respected. Its sovereignty should be respected. This would be a Sudanese owned, Sudanese led process in the end of the day. And what we are trying to do as United Nations and as a quintet, of course, is helping Sudanese to find a path towards that kind of future. And that's our starting point.”

Sudan: 'Worse to Come if We Don't Act' - Security Council Briefing | United Nations

Produced by United Nations

Briefing by Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, on reports of the Secretary-General on the Sudan and South Sudan. "The window to avert a wider escalation in El Obeid is rapidly narrowing," said Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs. DiCarlo said, “Last week, the Secretary-General warned of the catastrophic consequences for civilians should the fighting in El Obeid intensify further. Over the past two weeks, drone attacks by both parties in the area have increased significantly, while the Rapid Support Forces have expanded their presence around the city.” DiCarlo said the fighting was not confined to one city. “Beyond El Obeid, fighting in Sudan continues on multiple fronts. The wider Kordofan region remains the epicentre of the conflict, with intensified fighting taking place around Dilling, Kadugli and Babanusa as both parties continue to contest key strategic areas,” she said. She also said, “The parties could not sustain this pace of fighting without the sophisticated weaponry they obtain through external support. We renew our urgent call on all external actors to use their influence to help end this war, rather than be complicit in it.” DiCarlo warned, “There are clear warning signs of worse things to come if we don't act. Sudan's escalating conflict is unfolding amid rising tensions between Sudan and neighbouring states.” DiCarlo added that a political settlement hinges on clarity over what comes next. “At the same time, it has become clear that knowing what Sudan's political future looks like is key for the parties and their allies to agree to stop fighting. They want a road map for what happens the day after they agree to lay down their weapons,” she said. She stressed the role of regional and international mediators. “Central to progress on the political front is the strong partnership among the Quintet members – the African Union, the European Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the League of Arab States and the United Nations,” DiCarlo said, before turning to the Council itself: “We welcome the recent Council press statement on El Obeid. Your words and your actions matter. We call on you to do more.”

Record Child Casualties & Aid Denial in 2025 - UNICEF Briefing | United Nations

Executive Director of UNICEF, Catherine Russell, also briefed the Council members. She highlighted three more alarming trends in the report. “First, children continue to be killed and maimed at staggering levels by explosive weapons in populated areas. In 2025, almost 70 per cent of child casualties were caused by explosive weapons. The highest numbers were verified in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Israel and the State of Palestine, and Lebanon,” she said. The second trend she underscored is the growing number of children subjected to multiple grave violations. She said, “In 2025, this number increased again, to more than 3,100 children. This means that a child has had several terrible things happen to them. They are abducted or recruited, and in many cases, also subjected to rape or other forms of sexual violence.” Moreover, the third major source of concern that Russell pointed out was the alarming rise in the denial of humanitarian access. “In 2025, the United Nations verified more than 8,000 incidents involving restrictions on humanitarian operations, attacks on humanitarian personnel and assets, and interference with the delivery of assistance. The highest numbers were verified in Israel and the State of Palestine, Libya, and Ukraine,” she stated.
