At least 13 children were killed and four others injured in airstrikes by the Sudanese army in Al Kuma, North Darfur, on October 4, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said.

The children, aged between 6 and 17, were reportedly killed in attacks that damaged and destroyed health centres, water points and marketplaces. 

“These attacks on children are unacceptable,” said Sheldon Yett, UNICEF Representative to Sudan. “Children have no role to play in wars or civil conflict, but children are the ones who are suffering the most.”

UNICEF has received further reports of civilians killed and injured in attacks earlier today in Melit, North Darfur State. 

Since the beginning of the conflict in Sudan, more than 150 schools and hospitals have been attacked. Last year saw the highest number of grave violations against children verified in Sudan in more than a decade. 

“As the conflict continues unabated, we fear this horrendous pattern will persist,” said Yett.

“Thousands of children and families are trapped in areas affected by violence, insecurity, and lack of protection. The continued violence and disregard for children’s safety and rights need to stop.”

UNICEF called on all parties to the conflict to abide by their obligations under international humanitarian law and ensure the protection of children. Sudan Tribune
