UNICEF’s emergency response in Sudan, amid conflict and famine threats, prioritizes addressing child malnutrition through prevention, early detection, and treatment. Mother Support Groups in Kassala state focus on prevention by educating caregivers on optimal feeding practices and promoting healthy diets. Participants are trained to train others, emphasizing nutritious meals using locally available foods. Ohag, a beneficiary, started a vegetable garden with UNICEF’s support, providing her family with fresh greens despite water scarcity. UNICEF’s efforts extend nationwide, partnering with NGOs to reach high-risk areas and ensure access to therapeutic feeding supplies for severely malnourished children.
