Abstract

In late 2005, UNICEF’s first Child Alert warned that Darfur’s children faced a dangerously uncertain future: homes torched, classrooms shut and childhoods reduced to a fight for survival. Twenty years later, Darfur’s children are again trapped in catastrophic conflict that re-ignited in 2023 and has engulfed the region. ‘Darfur: 20 years on, children under threat’ looks at the current crisis, how it is impacting children, and UNICEF’s response.
